Espresso Chocolate Chip Cupcakes … Espress-o-love for Mother’s Day!!
These muffins are great for a coffee loving Mum! Nothing like a deep, delicious espresso cupcake to make the day complete. Dark chocolate pairs beautifully with coffee, and IMHO, a creme chantilly topping might compliment these cupcakes nicely too.

I was making mini vanilla cupcakes for a friend’s daughters’ birthday the other day,& had some batter leftover. With Arfi’s Cupcake Spectacular 2008 on my mind, I scrabbled around in the fridge looking for something different I could put together…other than a regular vanilla muffin. AHA…found 4 strawberries which were crying out to be used! Further exploration revealed some oranges too, so I set to work. These cupcakes were flavoured beautifully & made luscious little bites…good enough for dessert too; can’t go wrong with strawberry, orange & chocolate! Topped them off…
