Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes

I love everything about cinnamon.  I think I would put it in almost anything if I could get away with it.  I was excited when my daughter requested this recipe for her birthday.  On her actual birthday I made my triple cinnamon roll recipe and baked them in individual cupcake liners to take to her school and share with her class , but due to timing I decided to do an actual cupcake for her party.  Indulge!

The Best Frosting Ever

 I came across this recipe while watching one of my favorite food bloggers (The Pioneer Woman) on Food Network.  I was a little unsure considering I have never heard of 'flour' as being one of the ingredients.  I am so glad I gave it a try, it is utterly delicious.  So light and creamy, literally the best I have ever tasted.  I am more of a whipped frosting at heart so needless to say I was in heaven.  I have altered it a couple of times for different recipes.  Once adding 1/2 cup of peanut butter for a peanut butter frosting and another time adding cinnamon.  I could easily take a spoon and eat it right out of the bowl.  Indulge!

Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes

The end of February and the month of March are busy birthday times for me.  Every couple of weeks we are having a birthday celebration.  This year we combined our oldest daughters together.  My daughter requested her favorite Cinnamon Roll cupcakes (recipe and post coming soon) and the Mr.'s daughter requested Peanut butter cup cupcakes.  This was the first request for anything peanut butter and I have been wanting to bake with it for a while now so I was excited to give it a try.  Growing up one of my favorites was Reese's peanut butter cups (once many many years ago i bought a bag of the miniatures and ate every last one of them.. I don't think I could get away with that now).  This cupcake definitely brought back childhood memories.  Indulge!
