Starbucks Frappuccino Cupcakes
I bought a lot of silicone baking pans last
month and I have been over the moon with them and as you can see baking up a
storm. I have felt a rush of inspiration lately, something that I have not felt
in quite a while. It’s no secret around here that I like my coffee so I wanted
to create a coffee inspired cupcake and what better way than this recipe? Although I do like strong coffee I do not like
a strong coffee taste in baked goods. I rather have a hint of a coffee flavor
so that being said you can use more coffee and less milk if you rather have
more of a really strong coffee flavor. I have used a 60(coffee) /40% (milk) ratio.

For the topping I went with a traditional
vanilla buttercream frosting and used caramel syrup on half while leaving the
other half plain. I was really impressed with how they came and out inside and
out. These may just be my new favorite cupcakes.
