These classic chocolate cupcakes are perfect as a dessert during Easter. You can even bake them the day before you are planning to serve them. Little chocolate eggs or other Easter candy are perfect for decorating.
These cupcakes are absolutely delicious and very easy to make. And the light-colored decoration made them look more professional which is extra fun to serve guests. You could also use colored cupcake cups that match the decoration. I just used silicon cups.
