These are some awesome cupcakes! They are so light and fluffy and the cream cheese icing is the best I have ever had. Not to mention, it made exactly how many you said it would! I made these for a 4th of July picnic and took some up to work and the only complaint I heard was that people couldn't stop eating them! Thanks for an awesome recipe!
