Can y’all believe it’s already the end of April? I mean, where does the time go???

I’ve been SO SUPER BUSY these last few weeks that this month has literally FLOWN by! Because I’ve been so busy, I’m also super tired by the middle of the day and have a hard time staying awake especially if I’m at the computer. I’ve started downing coffee around 2pm. Cappuccino is my favorite.

Yesterday, while I was on cappuccino #2, I had the brilliant idea to make a Cappuccino Cake, so here it is…chocolatey coffee goodness…

Oh and please forgive the fast talk and constant twitching…it’s just the caffeine. :)

    Hi,

     

    I followed you over from Oopsey Daisy.  Not only is this cake beautiful, it sound delicious.  I love adding coffee or instant espresso powder to chocolate creations.  It makes the flavor of the chocolate pop.

     

    I would like to invite you to share this, and any other
    posts, on my link party at http://www.michellestastycreations.blogspot.com.  Have a great weekend.

     

    Hugs,

    Michelle
