Double Fudge Cupcakes

I am a big birthday person.  When it is your birthday you get the whole week to celebrate.  So for my hubby's birthday week, we made home these cupcakes.  They are truly for those chocolate lovers out there.  People from his work couldn't believe that they were home made.  They all thought they were ordered and bought from a bakery.  Very flattering.
