Mocha Latte

Mocha cupcakes plus whipped cream and cocoa...

equals one delicious treat!

This is inspired by my favorite coffee drink!

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... ...
