Piece of Cake!

I decided to make cupcakes to bring to work for Valentine's Day....nothing special, just a Devil's Food cake mix in a box and a tub of Chocolate Fudge frosting. But I wanted to try using a pastry bag to frost them since so many times before I've been frustrated with the way my cupcakes looked in the end. I'd never done this before. So, I tried the bag and found it to be surprisingly easy to use and not nearly as messy as I'd expected. I quickly ran out of chocolate frosting so I improvised and just scooped another tub of frosting I had into the pastry bag. It happened to be buttercream. The result was a beautiful swirl of chocolate buttercream that tasted delicious! Add some pink sprinkles and...Voila!
