Chocolate Carrot-in-the-Garden Cupcakes

Looking for a way to surprise your guests this Easter? Try these carrot-shaped cupcakes growing out of the ground. To make the surprise filling, use a knife to cut out the centers of the baked cupcakes, leaving a cone-shaped indentation; fill the indentations with orange filling. Save the cut-out cupcake pieces for the crumbly topping, which mimics the soil.
