-A Repost
In my neighborhood you can’t go three blocks without running into a Starbucks. I must admit, I sometimes feel addicted to their flavorful coffees and fresh baked goods. The unfortunate thing is that if I went to Starbucks everyday I would be broke by now! Fear not! Chef Tom to the rescue with this amazing copycat recipe for Starbucks Black Bottom Cupcakes. If you crave the Starbucks Frappuccino, then I suggest you get a copy of America’s Restaurant Recipes.
