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!

Easter dessert doesn’t have to be a kid-friendly either. You don’t have to do cupcakes with bunny ears coming out of them or miniature gardens with carrots sticking up, because YOU deserve to love Easter dessert, too, and these Vanilla Cappuccino Cupcakes are the perfect dessert for adults. Regardless of whether you like coffee, you’ll love these cupcakes for Easter…or anytime.

I usually make cupcakes Easter weekend for my family and I try to make something new each year. After trying these homemade cupcakes a few days ago, I think they will be my Easter cupcake choice this year.
