CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH CUPCAKES

June 11, 2015

We are still recovering from these. For our kick off barbecue of the summer we grilled burgers at our friends’ place, and I brought over these transportable little wonders. I really liked them, but I like pretty much everything in cake form. The icing on the cupcake (eye roll – sorry) came from my friend telling me these are the best cupcakes she has ever had! They are great for that one person you know who does not like chocolate.

But also everyone else.
