This was a good baked french toast. The expresso power added a nice touch! Not sure what I did wrong but it seemed to turn out a tad soggy but I will try it again! Thanks for posting,, Made for My 3 chefs 08'

I love cupcakes! So, you'll see more recipes of these and amazing frosting than anything.
Also, I am a die hard Boston Red Sox fan, Manny Ramirez & Jason Varitek are my favorite baseball players of all time!
