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 LOVE LOVE brownies!!! Will definitely try out this recipe… soon.
(Just can’t let my husband know, who is a personal trainer, lol!)
These were seriously the best brownies ever! I can’t wait to re-use this recipe!
Those look outrageously delicious!!!
I love me a good brownie – but can you believe that I haven’t actually made homemade brownies. I really must change that!!
Who doesn’t love brownies?! I don’t know if I could wait a whole night and not devour these immediately out of the oven!
Yum! I love brownies! I’m thinking I actually might make some right now 🙂
You have way more willpower than I do. I rarely let brownies cool. I love when they’re warm and gooey… and yes, then throw some vanilla ice cream and hot fudge and whipped cream on top!
I was good, and I let my KAF brownies rest overnight though.
I added myself to follow your blog. You are more than welcome to visit mine and become a follower if you want to.

HAHA, I totally cracked up at this post for two reasons: I love that you used the expression “Get outta town!” and that you posted the pic of our brownies that were, the best brownies ever. See? We just knew..
Great post, as always!
These look sinfully delicious 🙂
