These look delicious! Now i’m in the mood for some chocolatey goodness!
The cupcakes turned out to be super yummy and so light. I tried the chocolate buttercream frosting, but when I tried to pipe it into the cupcakes, it fell flat without the design. As though I had spread it with a spoon. Kindly advise where I could have gone wrong. The frosting was tasty .
