Shout-out to Jim, for letting me know about a new (to me) series of prompts from a fun and interesting looking blog. Thanks Jim!
If I have ever tasted an espresso cupcake, it has not been recorded in a blog, at least not one with archives.
Could one of these be espresso?
That second one looks a bit suspicious. But I just don’t know. I think they were bought and nommed up in Berkeley, so they might have been any weird thing.
I would definitely try an espresso cupcake, especially with vanilla buttercream frosting. Mmm! I love coffee flavors. Love coffee ice cream, with hot fudge or chocolate syrup or just plain. I used to pour Baileys over it, but I’ve given up alcohol. God, that was good!
Coffee cake isn’t coffee-flavored though. Isn’t that confusing? You’re just supposed to eat it with coffee (or tea). I used to love Starbucks coffee cake, before they removed half the crumbs to make it “healthier.” Pro tip: it’s still not healthy, but now it’s not yummy either.
Back to cupcakes. Sprinkles has a Cuban Coffee cupcake, available Wednesday and Sunday. That sounds pretty darn close to espresso and I may just have to try it now.
For science! π

What a yummy first post to read this morning.
I have always loved coffee flavour. When I was little I used to ask for coffee cake and coffee biscuits when given the choice. Like you I was disappointed when they didn’t taste of coffee.

I totally agree.
Plus there are so many foodie things that can be done with coffee.
And I love reading and writing about food without the recipes.
How about you ?

I do. Iβm not a fan of complex recipes, but if I see something simple that sounds good, Iβll save it. Talking about food is very engaging!

Espresso cupcakes are my favorite. Nicola’s Donuts used to make cupcakes, too, and had an awesome espresso cupcake. But they stopped making cupcakes. π¦ I haven’t had an espresso or coffee cupcake in years! That 3rd one looks like it has a coffee bean on top. To me they look like raspberry, cookies and cream, espresso, and bubble gum. lol

Aw, I was hoping for a guessing contest! #3, the one next to the blue, would be my espresso guess.
