Easy Cannoli Cupcakes

Submitted by Bonnie G #2

"Found this on the back of a Pilsbury White Cake Mix and an easy and fast cupcake recipe using a cake mix. Prepare cupcakes as per your box instructions so will be additional ingredients per box instructions. I love the cupcakes, but also made some into mini loaf cakes to see how they'd turn out and those were fun too"
