Happy birthday to my wonderful Mom!!

Yes, today is her birthday, and I just got back from visiting her for her special day.  When I asked her what kind of birthday cake she wanted she replied, "It has to be something small."  She didn't want a big cake that left her with leftovers to eat.

The perfect treat?  Her favorite cupcakes! ... Soft, fluffy-textured vanilla cupcakes with coffee buttercream frosting.  Yum.
