A very happy birthday to you!! Whoever made up that "rule" at your office must have known about your cooking prowess. :-) I've heard that sour cream makes muffins especially moist but I haven't tried it myself yet. These look lovely!

I'm surprised you went with muffins for your birthday. I'm not surprised it had cherries in it, but I would have thought cherry-wood.

Happy birthday, dear Dragon! May your day be as beautiful as these muffins!
You have to bring in sweets to work? Well, that's a new concept :)
Anyways, glad you don't mind, and I think they look awesome. I love the addition of the sour cream, and the cherries perfectly go with it.
