\"Caramel<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ve never really considered myself much of a drinker. While I love a good cocktail when hanging out with friends, particularly now that it\u2019s summer, that\u2019s mostly it. Plus, I tend to not like to drink my calories, I\u2019d rather eat them.<\/p>\n

So when I have the chance to combine eating my calories in cupcake form with \u201cdrinking\u201d them too, I\u2019m on board! Ha! No but truly, there\u2019s something about the flavor that most alcohol gives to baked goods that I just love. It\u2019s like beer in cheese \u2013 how can you go wrong?<\/p>\n

\"Caramel<\/p>\n

Bourbon is one of my favorites. I don\u2019t personally drink it, but it gives a really awesome spiced flavor to things. I love it! I also added brown sugar and a bit of cinnamon for some additional flavor to go with the bourbon.<\/p>\n

The cinnamon may seem like an unusual addition, but I find that the smallest amount of it can add a really nice bit of flavor and accentuate other flavors nicely. There\u2019s not a lot in the cupcake, but it\u2019s just enough to add to the spiced flavor of the cupcake without overpowering the bourbon.<\/p>\n

\"Caramel<\/p>\n

For the frosting I used my favorite caramel sauce, but you could certainly use a different one. Just keep in mind that not all caramel sauces are the same consistency, so if yours is thinner you might want to use a little less than I did so you don\u2019t thin out your frosting too much.<\/p>\n

I also used a bit of vanilla bean paste in the frosting to bring out a little more of the vanilla flavor and add some fun specks to the frosting. There\u2019s not a ton of it, but you could certainly add to it if you like.<\/p>\n

\"Caramel<\/p>\n

The final cupcake really is delicious and so full of flavor! The spiced cupcake with the vanilla caramel frosting is like my dream cupcake! And you get to eat and drink your calories all once. That\u2019s what I call multi-tasking! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
