Cupcakes and coffee


Few people can argue that cupcakes aren't just sweet and delicious, but they are pretty to look at.
Walking past the Louis Vuitton shop the other day,  I had to take a photo of the very tempting cake in the  window display.

DD made these delicious chocolate cupcakes

Morning coffee just got a little nicer ... we bought a Delonghi  Nespresso coffee maker.
It makes the perfect cup of coffee,  and all you need to do is press two buttons. With a wonderful aroma and if you prefer coffee with milk,  froths the milk to make a great latte.
With such a wide variety of flavours and strength, to choose from, with the wonderful colour coded capsules, which really do make the perfect coffee.  Would be nice if you could join me for coffee and cake.

 Thanks for visiting,  your friendship and the comments you leave,   also appreciate my  new followers,  many thanks.
I hope that you are enjoying the week
Hugs
Carolyn

  1. Oh, cupcakes and coffee, what could be better!?!?

    We have a Delonghi expresso maker and a Keurig one-cup coffee maker. We don't like coffee much, LOL

    I hope you have a wonderful week!

    So far I have three possible names I like for my mani . . .

  2. Hi Carolyn,
    I'll take a cup of the perfect coffee and one cupcake please!!
    What a wonderful pic to make ones mouth water for this tempting dessert treat.
    Love your pics and catching up on all your posts. Easter at your home looks like it was special and I am so glad you enjoyed a nice holiday. The walk along the beach looks perfect and those two homes are stunning.
    Love your new teddy bears. You are so talented my friend. You just give life to these little darlings with your details.

    Blessings to you for a wonderful rest of the week and weekend.
    Lots of love to you, Celestina Marie

  3. Dearest Carolyn,

    Oh, I will join you but only in the morning and around noon as I don't drink coffee in the afternoons. Your Delonghi Nespresso maker looks like a fabulous choice. That huge cupcake in the window of Louis Vuitton's shop is exceptional!
    Enjoy your Wednesday and sending you sunny love,

    Mariette

  23. Yum! Wish I could join you for coffee and cake. When we were in Dubai last weekend, I really wanted to get a cupcake from The Magnolia Bakery outside Bloomingdale's. I was so mesmerized by what they were creating, that I didn't even take pictures -- or buy anything. Must go back! Have a wonderful weekend. Tammy

  27. a mid-morning coffee ummm delicious with cinnamon, is an espresso with chocolate chips, it is desirable and if it accompanies a piece of chocolate cake the better ... Good day and hope that you happen to see me kisses gull in flight...

  29. Chocolate cupcakes and coffee....does it get any better than that? Your coffee maker looks so simple to use. Have never tried it yet. Have a blessed week, my dear friend.
