In honor of Starbuck's earth-shattering news yesterday, we thought we'd celebrate in the only way we know how: with cupcakes based on Starbuck flavors (because obviously plain vanilla just would not do). Here are some of our favorites—they're even dressed for the occasion.

1

Caramel Macchiato Cupcakes

One of Starbucks most popular drinks in edible form. Coffee cake, coffee whipped cream filling, topped with a coffee vanilla butter cream drizzled with caramel. Can you say delish?
