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!

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first
comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and
say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.

Do you have any points for beginner blog writers?
I’d really appreciate it.

They sound awesome! Everything I like–hubby has good taste! You might want to edit–it says chocolate chips and I assume you mean butterscotch chips. Can’t wait to try them. Thanks a lot.

I must admit that in reading this post I turned to my fiance and asked him what his favorite kind of cookie was (we’ve been together 5 1/2 years). His response: peanut butter chocolate chip. You learn something new every day 🙂

I too love butterscotch (and coconut and toffee for that matter!) but it is such an overlooked flavor!

  Isn’t that funny?!? Crazy how you can be with someone so long and still be surprised by them!

In the recipe you, you say to add chocolate chips(?) and there is no reference to when you add the toffee or the coconut…

  They go in with the butterscotch chips. I have updated the recipe to reflect this. Sorry about the typo.
