Starbucks Frappucino Cupcakes


These Starbucks Frappucino Cupcakes were crafted by the talented blogger Kim from the delicious blog Kimz Kitchen. These coffee-spiked cakes are made all the more adorably tempting fit snugly into a clever cupcake sleeve made out of an old Starbucks cup and skewered with a tell-tale green straw. 
Emulating the popular Starbucks Caramel Frappucino, these Starbucks Frappucino Cupcakes are comprised of an altered version of your usual vanilla cupcakes. The cupcakes are given a shot of java and then taken to a new level of decadence when they are filled with a healthy amount of airy coffee mousse. The petite cakes are topped with a lush Swiss Meringue Buttercream and drizzled with a sumptuous homemade caramel sauce.
