Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes

We just finished watching “Two and a Half Men” and I loved Ashton Kutcher’s character, Walden. When I was thinking that the show wouldn’t be the same without Charlie, I just kept reminding myself how great Ashton was as Michael on “That Seventies Show.” Ashton is really a funny guy and he plays a dumb hot guy really really well. They were smart to not try to recreate a Charlie in the new character and Walden and Alan had really good chemistry. I do have to say that I cannot believe ******Spoiler Alert********that they killed off Charlie – honestly didn’t see that coming AT. ALL.

Now, to find out who replaces Michael Scott….that will be interesting!

I don’t watch a whole lot of TV, but I do love my Monday night CBS shows and my Thursday night NBC shows.

These  are the chocolate cupcakes that I made for Taylor’s 6th birthday party. We also made these funfetti cupcakes for the party we had at our house and my mom made these red velvet cupcakes  when we were visiting her which in NY.

These cupcakes have a wonderful chocolate flavor and have a really nice delicate crumb that holds together really well.  They tasted great under the fluffy Vanilla Buttercream frosting but if you wanted to change things up a bit the cream cheese frosting that goes with the red velvet cupcakes would be a great choice.  You could also try the brown sugar frosting that goes with the Spice Cake I posted earlier in the month. So many options for you here:-)

Enjoy!
