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!

Oh man! I am drooooling. I am definitely starring to try this one soon. Love me some white chocolate. YUM!

Oh my, this looks awesome! I’m always looking for a good chocolate cake/cupcake recipe. I’ll have to try this soon!
Just used the chocolate cake portion of this recipe and it was awesome! Very moist.
This look insanely incredible!! I need to try these immediately!
Hi, Can i check with you, the coffee added is ice cold or just room temperature?
Jacelyn – Room temperature coffee would work just fine.
