Mocha Latte

Mocha cupcakes plus whipped cream and cocoa...

equals one delicious treat!

This is inspired by my favorite coffee drink!

Coffee Almond Cake

This is a special cake, inspired by a dear friend.

So this is my tribute to a wonderful person and a dear friend.

My version is made of coffee sponge layers, filled with Almond Cream and frosted with Coffee-Almond Buttercream.  The cake is covered with sliced almonds and garnished with coffee beans.

A look inside -

It's a new favorite!

Mochaccino

Mocha is another favorite flavor.  Mocha, as Wikipedia explains, could refer to a coffee drink or a coffee bean (amongst others).  Mocha, as a flavor, however, is often thought of as a mix of coffee and chocolate flavors.  Mochaccino is a coffee drink with chocolate.

MaBelle's version is a mocha cupcake, frosted with coffee (or mocha, or chocolate) buttercream, with a sprinkling of cocoa (and cinnamon, optional), topped with a coffee bean (for decoration purposes only).

The cupcakes are yummy (of course!).  Although personally, I think the coffee flavor overpowers the chocolate a bit.  Then again, mocha is coffee with chocolate, not the other way around... ...
