The First Annual Manly Cupcake Challenge

Here are our very manly butchcakes perfect for the first Annual Manly Cupcake Challenge! They are made completely from scratch with a stout and chocolate sponge, a deliciously rich chocolate buttercream and topped with crushed pretzels for that perfect salty sweet combination. Any man would be proud to eat a butchcake such as this... especially Lumberjacks, fishermen and John McClane-types.
