choc fudge cupcakes

i made these for big missy's best friend's birthday party. Lauren's parents have taken them and few others to a water park for the afternoon and later on they are having a BBQ birthday party; tracy has bought halal chicken & burgers for big missy.

as usual, i just used house brand (tesco) ingredients and stork butter - dah mahal sikit sekarang, the 1kg tub used to cost £1.50 now dah naik £1.90.

 i sprinkled sugar strands over the frosting to cover some imperfection and used cake toppers.. cant remember where i got them from.
