I made these cupcakes a couple nights ago in efforts to make something sweet for 2 nights of needing/wanting to bring dessert. although not as simple as i thought, they were a hit. they looked much better freshly powdered than the next day... but on day 3 they were still hotly pursued. that extra layer of chocolaty goodness does the trick.

in other news... thank you to all who have sent condolences my way today regarding Kublai Khan Paw Paw Chow Chow Chow.... :)
