Magnolia Bakery cupcakes, birthday cake

We're halfway through the year, and time is increasingly scarce!
So much so that my birthday cake by the end of the day.



Then, after seeing so many cupcakes on vacation , I decided it was time to have my own cake cupcakes, and what better than by me to my taste!
butter cream do not like. I admit that is colorful and very decorative, but definitely not for me.
And since this was "my" cake, I took out the map on the creamed butter.
And as it was "my" cake, had to have chocolate.
And why not , dulce de leche.
and glamor.
And wave.
And they had to cook fast!
and decorate even more.
So I get to work, and the Magnolia Bakery recipe, plus a jar of dulce de leche, a little chocolate, a pot of cream and some cookies dipped in chocolate, I decided to make the best birthday cake in the world!


To all this I had to add the basic ingredients of a cake, 2 dozen pirotines, two plates for muffins, and a couple of hours.


Surely the original recipe is not in the book publishing, or the ingredients of another country have differences, or the hand of the cook is not the same ... but all in all, were a success, and they were delicious. I can not really compare, never tried the original, despite my long walks through Manhattan. It must be that I never dared by the famous butter cream.


A recipe to adopt from now on, definitely.
And as it happens to be one of my favorites, take the opportunity to participate in the Whole Kitchen Anniversary Contest .
