Happy Birthday!!
We were going for a pub crawl to celebrate Hubby’s college roommate’s birthday. I offered to bring cupcakes. He loves coffee flavored things, so I had quite a few options when I flipped through Crazy about Cupcakes. I decided on the Carmel Mocha cupcakes.
As usual, when I start baking, I get really excited and tend to bake way too much. Since I wanted to make the Carmel Mocha cupcakes “full-dairy” for the birthday boy, I wanted to make some cupcakes that I would be able to eat. I decided to use some strawberry preserves that we had paired with French Vanilla cupcakes. When I make two batches, I tend to make one from scratch and one from a box mix.
Everyone said the Carmel Mocha cupcakes were great, and I loved the strawberry filled cupcakes. Overall it was a baking success!
I love you! enough said. (Oh, and thanks for baking for Cupcake Hero too.) xo
Those look tasty!
congrats on perfecting this recipe! it sounds so good! i love white chocolate!
You had me at “white chocolate mousse!”
Yummmm!
Wow~ you even have espresso beans in the cupcake! That’s hard core. I swear I can smell those cupcakes just reading the recipe. Nice entry!
Oh these are beautiful! I love the streaks of espresso. I wish I’d been smart enough to try that!
