The dancing cupcakes.........

 Hi,
Sorry I have not posted in a while.....it has been super busy with the holidays and such. Ok so today for dance class we are having like a little party and parents get to come and watch.......anyway I made cupcakes to bring. There is a lot of people and I didn't want to make two batches. The recipe turned out to be enough for around 18 cupcakes......we only had two muffin pans....so we kind of used this flower shaped cake pan and put the cupcake papers in there.....some of our cupcakes came out well......lopsided. They still taste great! For the recipe go to my hersheys chocolate cake recipe and use that to make them like cupcakes......accept thist time bake them for around 20-25 minutes. Here is a picture of my (lopsided) cupcakes...............

So thanks for reading!
Peace out!

Hi,

I probably ate more frosting than I put on the cake, but oh well who cares :) Sadly my BFF's live in another state and my dog can't have chocolate,so they can not have the cake but at least they know I baked it in there honor :) so you are probably bored too death with my chit chat and want to get on too the recipe, I will stop blabbing so you can bake a "perfectly chocolate"cake. here it is.
