Happy Birthday!!

Thursday, September 27, 2007

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!

These sound great. Do they have to be served chilled? I’m bookmarking to make for the holidays. Thanks!

I served them at room temp. They are just a bit more firm directly out of the fridge.

Mmm! I’m always looking for new ways to bake/cook with pumpkin and these look fabulous. Great to put in a little tin for a holiday gift 🙂

I was thinking that too Elly! I had some crushed graham crackers in the pantry, but I wanted to try them true to the recipe for the first go at it.

They look good but I’m not sure of the coconut, pecan, and pumpkin together.
