Coffee: White Chocolate Mocha Cupcakes

I saw this recipe a few summers back from insidebrucrew during a cupcake challenge.  There are a lot of Starbuck's cupcakes out there, but I decided to go with this one.  The icing was my very favorite part.  I added a collar to make it look even more like a drink, but pretty much followed the rest of the recipe to a T. 

For the collar, I googled free template for a cupcake holder, printed it, traced it, then added a picture of the Starbucks logo and glued it to the sleeve.
