Birthday Boy Cupcakes

A lady called me up a few days ago to order some chocolate cupcakes for her son's birthday. She wanted to bring them to his school and of course, cupcakes are the best because they require no cutting, everyone gets the same size and you don't need plates or forks.

She said her son wanted something simple, so we thought to just put Happy Birthday and some stars. At first, she said she wanted them in blue and pink (for the girls, obviously). But I said maybe her son wouldn't want pink on his birthday 'cake'. I know mine wouldn't and he's not yet six. He associates everything pink with girls :)

Anyway, so she told me to do the lettering in light blue and the frosting dark blue. The top row of cupcakes was flat-frosted for the candles. The sprinkles on the rims were shark-shaped.
