Deep, robust and richly rewarding. Just as Deschutes Brewery describes its Obsidian Stout you could describe these chocolate stout cupcakes in which the chocolate and espresso flavors from the stout beer pair perfectly with the decadent chocolate cake and fudge frosting.

My sister surprised me with this Kit Kat cake on my birthday this past week. I have seen versions of it filled with M&M's and other candies but I have to say that I love how it looks overflowing with berries. I wish we had pictures of all of the kids sneaking away with the Kit Kat bars and their little hands grabbing all of the berries.

Despite its name, German chocolate cake does not come from Germany. It was invented in the US back in the mid-1800's by Sam German who developed a type of dark baking chocolate used in the cake. It is typically served as a three-layer cake but they make adorable little cupcakes.

It is easy to make make funfetti cupcakes (or a whole cake, for that matter) with the cake batter of your choice. They look just like the cake mix versions but taste much better!

Making chocolate with molds is an easy way to decorate cupcakes, especially when you are trying to make an intricate design. I found generic mermaid chocolate molds and colored them to look like Ariel from The Little Mermaid for an Ariel-themed birthday party.

For my son's 2nd birthday I made a tower of Sesame Street cupcakes topped with an Elmo cake. Decorated with frosting in bright primary colors the characters were easily identifiable and the kids loved being able to pick out their favorite character.

I recently had the opportunity to create a cupcake display for the 20th Annual Festival of Trees gala event in Port Angeles, Washington, a fundraiser benefiting Olympic Medical Center. The theme of the event was Let it Snow! Decorating over 400 cupcakes (both minis and regular-sized cupcakes) to match the theme was the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit.
