How to Make Your Birthday Cake Coffee
- Brew the Magic
Start by brewing one cup of Java Factory Happy Birthday flavored coffee. One single-serve pod works perfectly. Your kitchen should already smell like a celebration at this point.
- Sweeten the Deal (Without Being Too Sweet)
Coast the rim of your favorite oversized coffee mug (preferably one with glitter or cats on it)extra creamy vanilla frosting. Pour in the hot coffee and stir to melt and combine. Want a little extra depth?
Stir in a drop of vanilla extract and a tiny pinch of sea salt to round out the flavors.
- Froth It Up
Heat and froth your milk using a frother, steamer, or a trusty whisk. Going big? Use heavy cream and froth it into a thick, luscious foam. Slowly pour the frothed milk into your mug to create creamy layers.
- Dress It Up
Top with whipped cream or cold foam, stack it high like a frosting mountain. Then dump on the rainbow sprinkles like you’re five and unsupervised at an ice cream bar. (No regrets.)
- The Cherry-err, Cupcake-on Top
Skewer the mini cupcake and rest it across the rim of your coffee mug. Or serve it on the side with a birthday candle stuck in for dramatic effect. Light it. Make a wish. Or don’t. You’re already winning.
