Brownie Bottom Cupcakes

Happy Day Before Valentines Day! Tomorrow I am venturing back to work to visit my class. It's interesting, I feel like a Grandma. I'm coming to visit, I plan to rile them up with sugary cupcakes, and then I will leave them to their parents teacher. The benefits of being on maternity leave... I get to visit on my favorite school day of the year but I don't have to worry about teaching long division or something equally not fun on such a fun holiday! Best of all I get to show off my baby...which is by far my favorite thing to do.

These cupcakes are all over Pinterest. I've had them pinned on there forever and knew I'd be making them for Valentines Day. You don't have to use strawberry cake mix, you can use any flavor you wish. I imagine funfetti would be very fun for a birthday party! These are excellent... think about it, brownie+cupcake+frosting. Excellent.
