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!

Well, I know you made the awesome Nutella cupcakes for me this past year – so that has to be the other cupcake recipe!! What a great 6 years here at BB!! Keep making those cupcakes because I’m still drooling over all of them!!

Yep, those were the other ones I made in the last year! Every time I make cupcakes, I’m reminded how great they are, they just don’t excite me like they used to so I don’t think to make them. It could have something to do with my obsession with ice cream this summer though…
I love all of your cupcakes, they are so pretty and the perfect flavors 🙂
