Black Eye Coffee House Cupcakes
"If you love coffee and a caffeine buzz, these are the cupcakes for you! These cupcakes are named after the popular coffee house drink, the Black Eye, made by pouring two shots of espresso into a cup of drip-brewed java. The drink was named for the way the espresso ring looked while being poured into the coffee. Delicious and fragrant, these cupcakes are for true coffee lovers!..."
