Chocolate cupcakes ~ Pretty in Pink


for a Friday birthday at work


Everyone at work LOVES chocolate and it was my turn to bring in the goodies for a birthday celebration today.
I knew my friend would love
her chocolate dressed in pink with "polkadots" 
and diamond sprinkles on top.
A little something sweet for all my sweethearts out there

{sharing something pretty for Friday Pretties at Joyce's blog
and something pink for Beverly's How Sweet the Sound ~ Pink Saturday post}

The recipe I use for chocolate cake or cupcakes at King Arthur Flour blog.
I've used this one for years! 

Have a wonderful weekend my friends
