Plain, with frosting, or decorated to look like 80's game characters, cupcakes are a blank canvas for bakers and pastry chefs alike to express what flavors they are capable of.
With basic ingredients needed in order to create them, even an amateur baker can create these tasty morsels at home (without the help of Betty Crocker or the Pillsbury Doughboy).
**The following recipes can all be found on Wilton.com**
1 pkg (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. confectioner's sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 c. milk
In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients.
Beat with mixer until well blended.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
