I baked cupcakes this weekend and the frosting I used was so sickeningly sweet that it was practically in-eatable. Wasting anything of the buttercream variety is sacrilege to me, so instead of throwing the frosting away, I tried to doctor it by adding a ton of espresso powder to give it some sort of flavor other than “cavity.” The coffee flavored frosting was really great and I wound up eating…you know what, let’s skip the gory spoon-licking details and just say that I consumed enough caffeine that it was impossible for me to fall asleep before 4am.
At around 2:45 an amazing idea came to me…coffee cupcakes! A cupcake that you eat for breakfast instead of drinking a cup of coffee. Kind of like a Red Bull pastry. Here’s my marketing pitch so far:
Tired of breakfast products that promise fiber, vitamins, and minerals?
Do you love coffee, but just wish you could chew it and that it had more calories?
Sick of waiting until lunch to ruin your dieting resolutions?
Then have we got the solution for you! CafCakes*!
Snappy, right? Anyway, just wanted to share this great idea with you and ask you not to steal it before I get around to doing something profitable with it. Thanks.
