I just baked the top tier of my daughter's wedding cake and three kinds of cupcakes - AND chocolate-dipped cheesecake lollipops. The chocolate espresso cupcakes were topped with this luscious buttercream. Couldn't find a recipe I liked, so I tinkered and came up with this one. Read more YUM! Other cupcakes were peach poundcake with fresh peach buttercream and Limoncello with fresh lemon buttercream. The lemon buttercream is already posted and I'll post the peach buttercream next.
