Brother's Birthday

I may be getting a little ahead of myself since I still have to post Halloween Cupcakes, but that's okay. Here's the festivities of November 1st:



The cake is the Cookies n Cream Cupcake recipe from VCTotW (I can start using an acronymn for the cupcake book now, right?), made into a TRIPLE layer cake. The frosting is fluffy buttercream (1.5 batches to be exact) with crushed cookies, smothered between every layer and elegantly smoothed out on top and piped on the sides (the sides liked to fall down). The words are chocolate ganache piped on with a writing tip. Sprinkled with more cookie crumbs.






He was 12!
