birthday cake — Housewife's Whimsy

These cupcakes are the best things in existence. They are fantastic, full of amazing chocolaty goodness, and perfect for any birthday celebration. They are the perfect complement to my Vanilla Birthday Cake Cupcakes and the frostings can totally be mix or match depending on the flavor combination you’d like.Personally I love anything and everything chocolate so these cupcakes were a dream! They are an over the top, perfect to celebrate my birthday cupcake. Typically I have issues with chocolate frosting being too grainy or not tasting chocolaty enough. But I’ve created a fantastic chocolate buttercream that really embraces the chocolate taste. This is my favorite chocolate frosting to date and would go perfectly with just about any cupcake.If you’re not familiar with my method of icing cupcakes I’ve put together a short tutorial for you. You can find it here. These cupcakes really need no garnish, but to make them a little more fun I’ve sprinkled nonpareils over the top. This creates that perfect birthday look.
