 These cupcakes were such an adventure...I saw the recipe in Family Circle and I really liked the way they looked. But, I wanted to make a chocolate cupcake using a shot of Starbucks espresso so...of course...I HAD to go to Starbucks. I was going to meet my friend...Mr. Vinnie...there, but on the way I thought it would be cool for us to have breakfast at the Silver Diner...which BTW was awesome! But, I still HAD to go to Starbucks...which really is never a chore for me...I love the Starbucks! |
 I brought home the espresso shot and began to make the cupcakes...which turned out great. A while later I was ready to make the frosting and realized that I needed to head back to Starbucks for a Cappuccino...poor me (smile)...Back home poured the cap into the frosting and it made the nicest creamy coffee colored frosting. Topped it with a chocolate covered espresso bean...from Starbucks...of course! |
 Layla hung out with me in the kitchen during the entire cupcake process...she's such a champ! Then she patiently poses for me in front of the cupcakes...this time her tongue tried to come out just a bit...I just had to give her a taste of the frosting...I know, I know...I'm bad to the bone! |
 This photo will officially introduce everyone to Nigel...our baby French Bulldog...he doesn't really know what the heck a cupcake is yet but he sat still long enough me for to get this photo...I"m sure you'll be seeing more of Nigel...aka Devil Dog... |

ReplyDeleteOT.. a few years ago (2005) you mailed your brother some cupcakes, the packaging was amazing. Can you trll me how you did that? It was a box wit dividers. Did they cupcake make it? My sister wants some cupcakes mailed to her, and your box seems to be the only one I can find that might make it. Thanks so much. :)

ReplyDeleterandom side note: did you know some guy in one of the carolina's I believe, actually found a way to put caffeine into baked goods (2 cups of coffee worth) and is pitching the idea to places like s-bux, krispy kreme, and dunkin' doughnuts!?
