Chocolate cupcake with swiss meringue buttercream topped with fresh fruit for valentines day

We decided to use Swiss meringue buttercream. We find it's not as sweet as traditional American buttercream, and a lot lighter and airier. Sometimes buttercream can be too sweet and heavy, and many people don’t care for it. Our husband tried one of these cupcakes tonight, and despite not having a sweet tooth, he inquired about the type of icing used! Here's a link to the recipe we used, but feel free to use whatever you like best!
