Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

Level of Difficulty: Easy
Serves: 48


I recently hosted a Baby shower for a friend who was having a baby girl. This is the third and last post on the desserts I made for the baby shower. See my previous posts for the Sugar Cookies, and Panna Cotta recipes.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

These are easy bite sized Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing. I decorated the cupcakes with edible chocolate letters. Unlike all of my previous posts, this is not completely homemade. The icing is homemade but the cupcake is a based on a Cake Mix.  I used Pamela's Choclate Cake Mix with an extra 1/4 cup of Cocoa. I find the extra chocolate gives it a better depth of flavor. 

I made these for a baby shower, but they are also a great idea for Mother's day!
