My good friend is having a birthday party this weekend. We all packed up and are staying out on the Settles Ranch. So I wanted to make some yummy mocha cupcakes for the party. The picture was an after thought. Sorry about that. I think you can still see how yummy they are. I used Manini's gluten-free flour and they turned out great. Happy birthday Deb!
