Chocolate Birthday Cupcakes

I made both of these cupcakes for birthdays this past summer. The top cupcake is a chocolate cupcake with pink buttercream. I topped them with pastel non perils and pastel sprinkles.

The bottom cupcake is a devils food cupcake with a whipped gnash frosting. I made a batch of gnash using 1/2 semi-sweet and 1/2 milk chocolate. I then let is set and whipped it into a buttercream like consistency. It was a big hit!
*I used 1/2 milk chocolate to sweeten the frosting against the rich devils food cupcake.
