Dark Chocolate Cupcakes

If you know me, you'll know that I'm not a huge fan of baking things from box mix.  I guess it's because I like to get down and dirty with the ingredients and shake things up.  But sometimes, if I need to whip something up last minute I'll grab a box of cake mix from the pantry (emergency stash, ^^).  This time it was for a meeting that was in a few hours and it was also our co-worker's birthday.
I baked the cupcakes according to the directions.  To give them some character, I spiraled the frosting onto the tops and sprinkled unsweetened cocoa powder over each one.  It was a sold out crowd, =).
Having at least 2 boxes of emergency cake mix comes in handy.  That way you have something quick and easy to make if you ever need to.  Plus, it's something everyone will enjoy.
