Let’s be honest—your snack board deserves more than sad grapes and confused crackers pretending to be fun. Enter: coffee-infused cupcakes.
These tiny, caffeinated show-offs are soft, bold, and taste like dessert just graduated with honors in drama.
Each bite screams “I’m here, I’m moist, and I brought espresso.” You can’t be mad at that kind of commitment.
Perfect for brunch, book club, or just surviving another meeting that could’ve been an email.
They pair well with gossip, cozy throws, and the illusion of having it together.
