Chocolate Cupcakes With Buttercream Frosting

We were on a family vacation on a houseboat at Lake Cumberland in KY for Amanda's 9th birthday last year. She loves chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting and I decorated with sugar sprinkles. I found this cute cupcake holder that was the perfect size for this special day. I used the leftover cake mix to make a small square cake for the candles.

Amanda is a girly-girl, so she just loved the individual cakes that she was able to share. Since there were eight of us on the houseboat, she got two cupcakes!
