Gorgeous Chocolate Cupcakes

It's my dear boyfriends birthday tomorrow! Very excited as we will be celebrating next weekend however he's having to go to work tomorrow rather than spending his birthday at home or out and about, so I thought as usual I would make him some cupcakes to take in to work! He works in a very masculine office, therefore I made some manly chocolate cupcakes, although I decorated them just the way I'd like them!
