Cupcake Decorating Tutorial - German Chocolate

This is my spin on a classic. I love German Chocolate cake and to make it into cupcakes is just as pleasing. The combination of pecan coconut frosting and hardened dipping chocolate with cake is heavenly. I usually like to do something elegant and I find that this fits the bill. They are easy to make and require little effort. Please watch my tools video on things you will need or my previous cupcake videos. FTC: All products were purchased by me! All opinions are my own. You don't have to go out and buy the same things I have to make it just do it with whatever you like.
