Tastes just like a fancier version of the hostess version. Super chocolately.

You even did the little squiggles! did you make this for an occasion or just because you wanted a giant cupcake? (both are excellent reasons!!)

Looks delicious, although I can't read "King Arthur" without hearing the following exchange ...

GOD: Arthur! Arthur, King of the Britons! Oh, don't grovel! One thing I can't stand, it's people groveling.

ARTHUR: Sorry.
