Chocolate “Hydrangea” Cupcakes

I wanted to make something pretty yesterday so I decided to make Chocolate “Hydrangea” Cupcakes as after school snack for my daughter and of course, my sweet tooth. Who am I kidding, really? ☺️😉 I could’ve made 18 cupcakes with this batter but I kinda filled up my pretty cupcake liners so I ended up with a dozen. The pink buttercream frosting resembles pink hydrangeas. Like I said, I wanted to make something pretty.
