The Ugliest looking cupcake frosting

It is Dear Hubby's birthday today. Instead of baking a normal cake, I have decided to bake cupcakes. Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate chips to be exact. The children's favourite. Normally, when I bake cakes or cupcakes I do not put frosting as we are not a fan of creamy sugary stuff. Moreover, I find it very messy and I am not good at cake decoration. However, since today is DH's big day, I decided to make an exception. Whipped up some frosting and played with it together with my daughter. We had fun despite the mess we made. Just look how ugly they are!!!

Nevertheless, the cupcake taste good. Soft, light and chocolatey, It is very easy to whip up too!!
