Vanilla Cappuccino Cupcakes Not Just for Coffee Lovers

Who doesn’t love big, fluffy cupcakes? Well, who doesn’t love cupcakes? Period. And if you are a coffee lover or drinker like me, you’ll go crazy over these Vanilla Cappuccino cupcakes I made on Easter. They’re the perfect cupcake for any time of the year. In fact, I think they would be perfect for Valentine’s Day!

Regardless of whether you like coffee, you’ll love these cupcakes for Easter…or anytime.
