Yummy Cupcakes for My Husband's Birthday

This is not going to be a very long post today. This is also not going to be a recipe post but I really wanted to share these cupcakes with you.  They were easy and yummy and I will tell you what I used to make them. They were super easy and quick to make. I just love expirimenting with my cupcakes.

My Husband recently had a b-day and I wanted to make something special for him but I couldn't decide what to make for him since he really doesn't like cake; which made it a bit difficult to decide on what to make. I wasn't sure if he would like cookies, or a big gooey cinnamon roll, or if cupcakes would be good enough. So, finally, I talked to him about it and he said that lemon cupcakes would be good. But I didn't want to do just plain lemon cupcakes. I decided to make a vanilla cupcake with lemon curd as a filling and I swirled blue and white buttercream frosting on top and added some silver sprinkles.

In the end they were really good. I did give some to our neighbor and friends and they enjoyed them a lot. I know this flavor combination has been done before but it was a first for me and it was also a lot of fun. I haven't done this in a while and it felt good to bake something for somebody else. I hope you all enjoyed this post and try your own flavor combinations in you next baking project. Have a sweet rest of the week and bake something yummy this weekend.
