Black Bottom Cupcakes

Black Bottom Cupcakes 003

It's Wednesday. YAY! Half way through the week.

I am so looking forward to the weekend. A three day weekend and a send off for the summer.

How about you? What are you excited about this week? Or this coming weekend?

To mark the almost weekend I decided to make something sweet for my dear co-workers. We work so hard throughout the week and weekend, we deserve a treat. I hope they enjoy all the hard work I put in baking for them.

This is a new one for me. I hope it tastes as good as it sounds.
