Tales From the Cupcake Trials



Coffee Cupcake w/ Sambuca Buttercream



So we decided that we would try a new flavor every day this week. Ya know, trying to see what works and what doesn't. Thus far, everything is working! I mean you really cannot go wrong with alcohol, sugar, and more alcohol! I had never tried Sambuca but, Brian promised that it would be a great combination with coffee. We tried a great Kenyan blend coffee cupcake and made a Sambuca based buttercream. It was wonderful! The licorice flavor from the Sambuca really did make a great combination with the coffee We coated some of the coffee beans with chocolate and used it as a garnish. I have to admit the chocolate covered coffee bean adds a really nice bite!
