These are mint chocolate cupcakes for someone's 40th birthday at work. I had managed to ask what her favourite cupcake flavour would be and mint was the answer!
They were chocolate cupcakes with a special mint chocolate fudge topping. The chocolate fudge recipe is a special secret family one handed down from my Nan. Mint chocolate flavour needs pale mint coloured decorations!

On the plus side, the birthday girl hadn't realised what I'd been fishing for when I'd asked about cake flavours so they were a total surprise which was good!
