Expresso cupcake
One can never miss refreshing their senses with coffee aroma and the flavor any day.. I am not very coffee person, but I was the same like others. Coffee is most consumed beverage, one cannot miss drinking before starting the day. Last few years I stopped drinking coffee at home. I drink occasionally only when I am travelling. I started trying coffee flavors here.
