Chocolate Cupcakes

Everyone at work loved these when I took them in, but OK, I admit it. I cheated a bit on these ones. The cakes were made from Tesco's ready mixed chocolate cake mix, and the icing was Betty Crockers Chocolate Fudge Icing. A few sprinkles and some edible spray paint, and they actually looked pretty good too.

The cakes themselves were not what makes this memorable though. A special mention must go to the first decorated cake of the evening. I tried making my own piping bag, but it didn't go quite to plan...

It's ok, you can say it, it looks like a cat turd on a cupcake. My attempt to rescue it didn't make it any better.

I was in fits of giggles all evening after that. I'm surprised the rest of them actually got decorated as I had to keep going to sit down and compose myself every time I caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye.

I gave this special cupcake to my friend at work, who would later become my awesome boyfriend. I'm sure it was my mad cake decorating skillz that sealed that ^_^
