You're my Cuppycake, Gumdrop

You're my Honeybunch, Sugarplum

Pumpy-umpy-umpkin, You're my Sweetie Pie

You're my Cuppycake, Gumdrop

Snoogums-Boogums, You're the Apple of my Eye

And I love you so and I want you to know

That I'll always be right here

And I love to sing sweet songs to you

Because you are so dear

Two of my Favorite Cupcakes are Oreo Fudge.........

and Red velvet Cream Cheesecake.............

I can promise you neither of these are or ever will a disappointment. They are moist and delicious. and the recipes are similar but lead your tastes buds down entirely different paths. Who wants dessert? You should make a batch of each and host your own cupcake wars.
