Birthday Party Cupcakes

I successfully delivered cupcakes to my friends daughters birthday party! This is the same friend that I had smushed all the cupcakes on the way to her baby shower :) So, it was a happy day to say the least! Here is a photo of the chocolaty cupcakes...

woohoo! :)  I'd like to share w/ you the chocolate frosting recipe I used from a cupcake book I received for my b-day. This recipe is so delicious it tastes like chocolate fudge MMmmmmm

CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

INGREDIENTS: 

4 cups powdered sugar, divided

3/4 cup butter, softened

6 squares (1 oz. each) unsweetened chocolate, melted

6-8 tablespoons milk

3/4 teaspoon vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine 3 cups powdered sugar, butter, melted chocolate, 4 tablespoons milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat with mixer at medium speed until smooth.

2. Add remaining 2 cups sugar; beat until light and fluffy, adding more milk, 1 tbs. at a time, if needed to reach desired spreading consistency.

Makes about 3 cups. 

AND IT IS AMAZZZZING.
