If you know me personally, you would know that I have a love for coffee but I am not that great with dairy products. So to satisfy my coffee cravings without making me run to the toilet, I decided to make some mocha cupcakes since I couldn't really find a coffee cupcakes recipe that appealed to me.

I found the recipe on taste.com.au and can be found here.

Since I did not make the syrup, I can only comment on the actual cupcake batter. The cupcake itself is really nice and moist and has that bitter taste, which is expected. However, I found that the coffee flavour wasn't as strong as I would like so next time I make it, I would definitely put in maybe a half to a full tablespoon extra of instant coffee powder.

This adventure also allowed me to try piping icing for the first time. It wasn't an utter failure but it also wasn't the best but nobody perfects it on the right try. I think I will go and try a bigger piping attachment next time since I used a small attachment bought from Daiso.
