happy birthday steve!
My sweetie is 35 today. Isn’t this photo great? It was taken in Boston near the famed Berklee College of Music. Maybe someday this could be Steve’s album cover (he’s been playing the guitar for over 4 years now)… crazier things have happened (like purchasing a piece of art named catching fireflies)
At any rate, even though Steve is halfway to 70, he still likes his cherry-chip cupcakes topped with my special handmade frosting. So being inspired by Artfest and my friend Michelle, I made miniature birthday-themed pennants to top each cake.
I think these fruity treats will definitely be a hit with our catching fireflies and a.i. paper crew on Monday.
This is the only icing I ever use:
4 tbsp. flour
1 c. milk
3/4 c. granulated sugar
1 c. butter or crisco
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. milk
3/4 c. granulated sugar
1 c. butter or crisco
2 tsp. vanilla
Cook flour and milk until thick; stir constantly. Cool flour and mixture. Beat sugar and butter well with an electric beater. Add vanilla. After creamed well, add to flour mixture. Beat until mixture is spreading consistency. Will get fluffy like whipped cream.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE! That IS an awesome picture. The cupcakes look yummy and the pennants are darling, wish I was there to enjoy one with you guys!!
