    I made these and they were SO very good! The vanilla glaze is just the PERFECT topper for these, I think, even if I kind of drenched them in it. 🙂 Thanks again for all these wonderful recipes!

    I just made these mini cupcakes for a potluck. They might not look fancy but they are so good! I kept eating them while I was glazing them. I need pack them up so I can take them to the potluck! Thanks, Jenn.
