A dear friend of mine wanted me to make some cupcakes. While I was happy to do it, I wasn't sure where to begin. I am by NO means a baker! If I could make it to graduate school, I'm pretty sure I could manage some cupcakes though, right?
He said he preferred German Chocolate, so I immediately headed to Pinterest for some motivation. One of my favorite ideas is found HERE.

I decided to keep the cake-mix basic, and focus on making the toppings special. My favorite part was making the chocolate garnish. We melted chocolate chips on a glass plate over a pot filled with boiling water, put the melted chocolate in a Ziploc bag and wrapped with a towel. I cut a whole at the corner and squeezed the melted chocolate on to wax paper in designs. In to the refrigerator to harden then on top of the cupcakes they go!
I opted for the almond coconut topping and chocolate garnish. It took so much time with all of the trial and error but we did get there... and he loved them!
