It’s time to decorate! There are so many ways to decorate your cupcake that you can try. Read on to get quick and easy ways to create a beautiful chocolate cupcake decoration. ## What is a Cupcake? Cupcakes are one of the most popular desserts out there. Everything from birthday parties, weddings, costume parties, to office parties can be made merrier with the presence of cupcakes. Also known as fairy cakes or number cakes, cupcakes are a type of small cake (usually cup-sized, as the name suggests) that is designed to be served to one person. Cupcakes are usually baked in small thin paper or aluminum cups in muffin tins.  Standard cupcakes are usually made using the same basic ingredients as regular cakes, namely butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. Almost any recipe suitable for layered cakes can be used to make cupcakes. The cake batter used for cupcakes can be flavored or have other ingredients incorporated into them, such as raisins, berries, nuts, or chocolate chips. Besides adding frosting or other decorations on top to diversify your cupcake creations, cupcakes can also be filled with frosting, fruit purees or cream. To make a filled cupcake, a small hole from the top of the cupcake is made using a spoon or a knife, followed by adding the filling. Another way is to simply insert your piping bag or cooking syringe in the center of the cupcake, then inject the filling in. ## 7 Quick and Easy Chocolate Cupcake Decorations  Are you ready to make your cupcakes beautiful?
