Mini Chocolate Bundt Cakes

They're engaged!!!💍

Our family is growing again and we're thrilled about it.👰🏻🤵🏻  As the parents of the soon to be bride, we've been celebrating the newly engaged couple all month.💍  In our family celebrations involve food which means I've been indulging in congratulatory sweets all month - in honor of the newly engaged couple of course. 😅🎂   

So far we've marked the occasion with cake, cupcakes, millionaire bars, coconut key lime tartlets, mascarpone fruit tarts, lemon blueberry bars, sugar cookies and mini chocolate bundt cakes.  Commemorating big events requires lots of butter and sugar apparently.😅  You actually don't have to be celebrating a big event to make these mini chocolate bundt cakes though.  They're a great way to honor a newly engaged couple but also a nice way to treat yourself on a Tuesday afternoon.
