Mocha Cupcakes

"The perfect pairing of coffee and chocolate, this cupcake consists of fluffy, moist cake and a not-too-sweet mocha buttercream. To top it off, I placed a coffee bean on each cupcake."

Hey! I bake mostly to satisfy my sweet tooth...desserts are my favorite thing to cook. I do cupcakes a lot, but also have experience with cakes, pies, ice cream, etc. Pasta is another one of my specialties. I also pride myself on baking on the healthy side (if that's really possible in sweet food) and I do everything from scratch!
