Happy Inauguration Day!

No matter what your political views, you have to admit that today is a historic day in America. I made some festive cupcakes to celebrate the day. No new recipes here. I followed the yellow cake and chocolate frosting recipes that I used when I sent cupcakes to some friends and family members last year.
I also made these festive funfetti by adding a tablespoon each of red and blue sprinkles to the batter before baking them.

This is heavenly!!!
This looks amazing!
I LOVE Boston Cream pie, and I do love the custard filling but… I never turn down a good cheesecake! This is lovely.
OMG, it looks SO scrumptious! Trying it very soon!!
Yum! I’d love a slice of this right now

I know! It’s always crazy when stuff like that happens.
Being from Boston, I appreciate this Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake!
such a great-looking dessert! great minds 😉
That looks amazing. I love pastry cream and am kind of surprised you don’t like it… even really good pastry cream? (There’s a lot of bad pastry cream out there.)

Yea, it’s really a texture thing for me. I don’t like yogurt for the same reason. Although, maybe I’ve just never had good pastry cream…
I love the look of this pie/cake! Seeing the sponge layers and the cheesecake layer makes for an impressive looking cake!
Hi there ! I was wondering after refrigerating the cheesecake overnight, how much do i have to freeze it for ??? Thank u ! 🙂

Just for a couple hours. It is just to make it more firm.
