Cupcakes!

Don't get me wrong; full sized cakes are great and the decorating possibilities are limitless, but sometimes, a cupcake is just what hits the spot. They're conveniently pre-portioned and have made quite the comeback within the last few years. So much so that entire blogs and cookbooks are dedicated the the glory of a cupcake.

I must confess that this particular cupcake was not made from scratch (although I am working on a scratch version); it is a recipe from Anne Byrn's Cupcakes! From the Cake Mix Doctor. This indispensable little cookbook features creative and delicious cupcake recipes and decoration ideas for all occasions and tastes.

The flavor of these little cakes was unexpectedly a hit with everyone. They're Cappuccino Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Mocha Buttercream. Even those who aren't so hot on coffee loved these! So, if you want me to bake something fabulous for you, don't forget these little cakes. I can do many flavors and can also adapt these same flavors to layer cakes. If you so desire, I will work to get it right from scratch.

So, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy a cupcake!
