Jiggy Dance Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

September 29, 2018 By Geri Leave a Comment

What is it about a cupcake that makes one feel like a child?

I see a cupcake, my eyes glaze over and I automatically feel this immediate excitement over the idea of tasting one. Sometimes I even perform a little jiggy dance as I walk over to get my hands on one.  After everyone has had the opportunity to get one, I will actually do “the invisible man” act, sneak in and take another one! Maybe in invisible mode, the calories will also be invisible?!

There is no one single way to eat a cupcake either!

  1. Take a big bite, making sure you get both frosting and cake.
  2. Taste the frosting first.
  3. Taste the cake first.
  4. Break it in half, turn the top half over so the frosting is now in the middle.

My most favorite thing about cupcakes is the fact that there are so many flavors. The gourmet cupcake craze is as strong as ever and I see no end for it in the future.
