Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Cupcakes
I love Starbucks Frappuccinos and I love cupcakes so I decided to mix them together. I wanted it to be easy though. Who wants to spend their time slaving in the kitchen so I used a box cake mix and Starbucks ready to brew coffee. To make these perfect for a party, I even made cute cupcake wrappers that you can print too!

I say caramel should be the new Fall flavor not that other one that so many people are crazy about. These cupcakes look fabulous, love the caramel drizzled inside!
Thanks for sharing on the #HomeMattersParty. Hope to see you back next week.
