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!

Great job! You’ll be hooked into the magic of caramel now!!
Perfect swirls on top! I am so impressed! Great job!
Mmmm… cupcakes and caramel! YUMMY! I totally have to star this one for my baking bucket list!

Congratulations on a successful Db month – these cuppers look delicious!
I love that you chose to do cupcakes rather than a cake. (I prefer cupcakes and smaller portions anyday!) As for adding the salt – love the idea too! Great job 🙂
Beautiful cupcakes. Thanks for baking with us this month!
Your cup cakes are simply beautiful. I love the swirly frosting on top.
