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!

YUM! It looks so perfect and smooth!
Oh my! This looks wonderful!!! We’ll defiantly be making some this weekend.
You should! It literally takes 4 minutes.
Thanks for sharing. This looks great.
I am working on some treat baskets for the neighbors and was looking for a third item, and this is perfect.
Glad to help Chad 🙂 Hope your neighbors enjoy the goodies.
