These festive cupcakes were made for a party we had in our office. I wanted to use chocolate Piroulines but was unable to find any this weekend. I decided on the colorful straws instead - not edible! The straws made the cupcakes look like root beer floats, more than sundaes, but cute nonetheless. They were a mix of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with milk chocolate buttercream and vanilla buttercream. I actually ran out of cocoa powder for the chocolate buttercream, so I improvised by melting some Hershey's milk chocolate bars into the frosting. It turned out so delicious! I think I like it better than the traditional chocolate buttercream. It was also lighter in color and gave a nice contrast against the darker chocolate cupcakes. I dipped them all in creamy chocolate ganache to look hot fudge, topped with rainbow jimmies and a cherry! These are such happy cupcakes. :)
