My hands were tied.
After I had dug the double boiler out of the back of the cupboard and started melting chocolate, Joe suddenly changed his mind and decided he wanted "white cupcakes" instead. Luckily, he came to his senses when I passed him the whisk from the buttercream frosting. Believe me, child, when it comes to cupcakes, "brown" is so much better than "white"! Disaster averted!
Then we decorated the cupcakes. Joe helped apply the frosting and of course, the "spinkles." Some of the spinkles did not make it onto the cupcakes, as you can see. We're not going to get any awards for presentation for these, but we had fun!

Joe insisted on putting candles on his cupcake. Three blue candles. Because he's three, of course! So we all sang "A Very Merry Unbirthday To You!," he blew out his candles, and then he tucked into his cupcake and pronounced it "nummy nummy!"
