I finished up these cupcakes today and they are delicious! Just a tip though if you're going to make these be prepared for a more muffin like texture to your cupcakes. I didn't particularly enjoy this cream cheese icing it was too much like eating straight butter and cream cheese mixed together. I came across another recipe a while back that I use on my carrot cake cupcakes (just regular cream cheese icing) that's delicious. I'll see if I can't dig it up :) Hope you all enjoy!

2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (1stick) unsalted butter
