Newest Favorite Cupcake Ever

I know the title really isn't grammatically correct, but it is impossible to describe my latest chocolate love. As a "thank you" for their date night my employers brought me a cupcake from the bakery "A Taste of Heaven" and I think I am in love. I generally appreciate chocolate, but have often found cupcakes to not always be all that they could. My employers, intentionally or not, failed to give me any hint of why my cupcake was so special. Once home I prepared to partake in the treat, knowing in general the these sorts of things are best eaten right away. As I took it out of it's adorable little plastic carrying case, I noticed that when I licked a bit of the frosting off the edge that it tasted like chocolate. Mind you, not chocolate frosting, but like CHOCOLATE. This was interesting and delightful. Then I peeled away the paper wrapping and bit into the cupcake to discover another surprise, under the chocolate hood was a delightful buttery frosting that meshed perfectly with the moist cake and the sweet chocolate lid without ever overwhelming me with too much sweetness. True to their name, this cupcake was "A Taste of Heaven." What a pleasant way to end the day.
