Birthday Sprinkles

Marcus turned 25 and was feeling a bit... old.  He definitely isn't old, but I think it was more of a graduation into the next phase of life realization.  :)  So to help him feel younger, I made some cupcakes for him to share at work.  Super chocolatey with bright colored liners and sprinkles.

They turned out pretty cute, even after the subway ride to his office...  ;)

Chocolate Oranges

Last weekend, Marcus and I had a chocolate orange. Those are so good! I love Christmas time :) Well, I know it's not really Christmas time yet, but come on, I work retail. Christmas starts in October. Anyway, I was inspired for this month's Third Sunday (on the Second Sunday) dinner's cupcakes. The frosting didn't quite turn out how I planned, so I improvised. And I must say, I think I like this better.

They're orange chocolate cupcakes with orange chocolate frosting, topped with... wait for it... orange zest and chocolate pieces. Go figure ;)

YUM!
