Happy Birthday to Me

I made cupcakes to take to work for my birthday.  Yellow cake with chocolate frosting and a few sprinkles for the holiday effect.  A couple had a chocolate kiss inside thanks to the gift I received from Kathy this Christmas.  I finished them last night, put them in a sturdy box with a cover and placed it on the kitchen counter, with my purse and workbag covering it.  This morning while dressing, I noticed Otto was not in the bedroom.  I called and he came bounding up the stairs.  "What were you up to?", I asked him.  He did not answer, which is a good thing because being another year older could lead to other things.  Anyway..I proceeded to go downstairs and noticed nothing was on the kitchen counter.  My purse and workbag were on the floor and my cupcake box was now UPSIDE down and in the family room.  The smell must have been too much for him, he knocked everything down, the box landed upside down and then he pushed and pushed it into the family room, hopeing to enjoy a special treat.  The box won, he didn't get any treat, but you can only imagine the condition of the cupcakes.  I managed to "fix" them as best as I could, only a couple were in too destructive of a state to be repaired.  Repacked them and brought them into work.  What a nice start to the day.
Everyone at RP said they were still very tastey.  One comment was "Yummm upside down surprise cupcakes!" 
Happy Birthday to Me!
(sorry the other picture of what they looked like before I fixed them was all a blurr, which is the way I felt when I looked into the box.)
