Happy Birthday to Me!

Walt and Josh had big plans for my birthday cupcakes.  Walt was going to decorate them with candles and Pez (his idea).

However, despite the fact that the directions were fairly straightforward:

This is how they turned out:

Josh clearly thinks I am too dainty and wants to put some meat on my bones because he substituted oil for the water called for in the PICTURE INSTRUCTIONS, making each cupcake about 750 calories.  To be fair, pictures of water and oil do look similar.  If you're just using the pictures, that could be a problem.  Yeah.

So!  We'll be having birthday ice cream instead of birthday cake tonight.  But I can't lie -- it was kind of worth it for all the laughs I got out of it.
