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 came from my friend telling me these are the best cupcakes she has ever had! They are great for someone who does not like chocolate. And everyone else.
