Nothing is prettier than something chocolate with a cherry on top!

Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes

1 chocolate cake mix

1 recipe Creamy Cocoa Frosting (Below)

1 recipe Creamy White Frosting 

Marchino cherries

Prepare and bake cupcakes according to package directions. Cool completely. Then prepare Creamy Cocoa Frosting.

Creamy Cocoa Frosting

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

1/2 cocoa

3 cups powdered sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

About 3 Tablespoons milk

Mix butter and cocoa in large bowl. Stir in powdered sugar. Beat in vanilla and milk until smooth and of spreading consistency.

Place the frosting in a microwave safe bowl, and heat for about 30 seconds, until frosting is melted. Stir. Dip cooled cupcake tops into frosting. Dip all the cupcakes before doing the next step, so they have a chance to dry. 

Prepare Creamy White Frosting. Once chocolate frosting is dry, place white frosting in piping bag with large star tip. Pipe a small swirl in the center of each cupcake...

…and top with a cherry!

Simple as that.

I'd have to say that the homemade chocolate frosting is what makes these cupcakes taste amazing. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself and see!
