What sort of cupcakes do you make for your senior manager’s birthday? I went with some muppets from Sesame Street. Of course. They were vanilla and ‘slightly’ orange cupcakes, and even survived being dropped on the ground in their container. The only injuries sustained were baldness for an Elmo and Cookie Monster lost an eye.

Like any good cupcake experience with brightly coloured icing there was the obligatory piping bag explosion – blue is hard to hide.

Happy Birthday Boss!
