Hennessy Cupcakes with Henny Mousse and Caramel Buttercream

Hennessy cupcakes filled with Henny mousse are a bold way to celebrate. These are made for grown-up birthdays, cocktail parties, or dessert tables that need a little extra edge.

Each cupcake starts with a soft, moist cake base that’s filled with a silky Hennessy mousse. The mousse brings in the warm, smooth flavor of the cognac without being overpowering. It’s rich, balanced, and keeps the center of the cupcake soft and creamy.

Topped with Henny Buttercream and Caramel

The buttercream is made from scratch and flavored with real Hennessy, then whipped until it’s light and smooth. On top, we swirl the frosting high and finish it off with a drizzle of caramel that’s also infused with a splash of Henny. The result is rich, boozy, and balanced, never too sweet, never too strong.

Each cupcake also comes with a pipette filled with a shot of Hennessy. You can squeeze it right into the cake before eating or take it as a little side sip. It adds an extra layer of fun and lets the guest control how much flavor they want.

These are made for grown-up parties where the dessert hits just as hard as the playlist.

A Hit at Every Grown-Up Party

These cupcakes make a statement. They always grab attention on the dessert table and get people talking. The pipette makes them interactive, and the look is clean but bold, especially when served with gold trays, moody lighting, or luxe event setups.

Whether it's a birthday, bachelorette, or a surprise gift for someone who loves a good drink, these cupcakes are built to stand out. They’re meant for moments when you want your dessert to feel a little more indulgent, a little more grown-up.

Made for the Adults

Because these cupcakes contain alcohol, they’re only available for customers over 21. The amount of alcohol per cupcake is small and mostly used for flavor, but the pipette adds a stronger finish if the guest wants it.

For anyone who loves Hennessy or is planning an event with an adult-only vibe, these cupcakes are always a hit. They pair well with other cocktail-inspired desserts, or you can make them the main attraction.

Keep It Classy or Go All Out

Some customers serve them in gold boxes or lined up on black or mirrored trays. Others dress them up with candles or cocktail napkins. If you're looking to match them with a party theme, we can always adjust the frosting color, drizzle style, or even the paper liners.

Let us know what your party theme is, and we can customize the look while keeping the Hennessy flavor locked in.

​Small Batch, Always Fresh

These are made in small batches for quality and consistency. Each cupcake is baked fresh, filled, and topped by hand, and boxed with care for pickup or delivery. We recommend placing your order at least 5 - 7 days in advance, especially if you’re ordering for a weekend or event.

Cupcakes are best served slightly chilled or at room temperature. If you’re traveling with them or serving them later in the day, keep them cool to maintain the mousse texture and pipette freshness.

Not Available for Public Orders

We no longer offer custom cupcakes as part of our regular menu. These were made during a time when we focused on dessert decorating and accepted local orders.
​
Our current focus is on cake jars, shippable, fresh, and made in small batches. If you're browsing our older posts, you're looking at some of the designs that helped shape Legacy Cakery early on.

Thanks for following our journey and for all the support over the years.
