it’s never too early to start the day with something sweet, so i wanted to share this delicious recipe- and cute decoration idea from allyson baker. allyson announced she was going to have a baby by baking her co-workers these delicious cupcakes with fun little wrappers and tags. i think the idea is so sweet- and so is the recipe- so i couldn’t resist sharing a quick recipe for orange chocolate mini cupcakes from allyson this morning before we jump into our main recipe later this morning. click here for allyson’s full post and the recipe. thanks (and congratulations!) allyson!

Looks yumm!! I was planning on making my usual mom’s chocolate cake recipe this weekend but I shall now be making a chocolate orange cake instead! :)
What a great idea! Adorable cakes too, congratulations Allyson.
um, these are so freakin’ cute i can’t even stand it!
i’m having an open house at my gift shoppe next week and i am TOTALLY making these!!
Chocolate & Orange, a perfect combination! I love the wrappers, they’ll be perfect for an upcoming baby shower I’m throwing. How long do you bake them for since they’re minis?
Darling! And such lovely images!
Hmmm, that look really delicious. Love chocolate and orange together.
great recipe and she’s so talented too!
I think I must make those asap, those look and sound ridiculously yummy!
Heavenly. I love orange and chocolate! Starbucks used to sell an orange mocha chip frap that was delightful. I miss it. These cupcakes might do the trick! Thanks!
these look absolutely scrumptious! and they are so pretty too. lovely.
love the idea too. although if i did that at my work with 60% males, they would probably all forget i was making an exciting announcement, and focus on that cupcake in front of them.
Thank you for posting this recipe. It was absolutely delicious!
They looks so cute! Shame the recipe is based on a packet mix though – that’s kinda cheating..
I love chocolate and orange together! SOOOOO GOOD. That picture makes me hungry. I once had the best chocolate and orange gelato near the Vatican….ok I’m going to stop. I’m drooling…
