How about a nice cuppa joe?

I am not a morning person.  At all.  Period.  I need coffee before I can see straight, think straight or even be a little bit nice. My husband, though he also needs coffee, is able to jump out of bed and see the good in the world.  But hey...a junkie is a junkie, right?  Naturally, for his birthday, I made him a cake that looked like a big ole "cuppa" coffee.  From one of his favorite places...

"Coffee Cup" cake

You can have your coffee and eat it, too!

This one was a vanilla sponge cake with mocha buttercream filling (duh...) and salted caramel buttercream icing.  All details were done in home-made fondant.  And it was goooooooooddd.  Even better with a "cuppa" coffee.  :)
