Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 2 years and 8 months old | 60 lbs

My 32 month old, 60lb Syberian Husky got into a batch of 5 double chocolate cupcakes. And approximately 30 hours later got diarrhea. Do you feel the digesting of the cupcakes can cause diarrhea 30 hours later?

Yes. It is not uncommon to see vomiting and diarrhea for a few days after a type of food is eaten. If the diarrhea continues for more than a day, or he has any vomiting or decreased appetite Shadt should be examined by a veterinarian as he could have pancreatitis or require medication for nausea.
