Cream Cheese Cupcakes (Like a Cheese-Cake but Soooo Easy)

These are OUTRAGEOUS!! My girfriend Pam sent these to me all the way from South Beach one year for my birthday - I had one then immediately called her & begged for the recipe... I recommend using foil cupcake liners - they work better then the paper ones for this recipe...
