It is time yet again, to wax poetic about cupcakes......

There once was a girl from Salt Lake

who truly loved to bake

so she mixed up a batter

that would make her get fatter

and called it the Oreo Cupcake

he he he he ...sometimes I crack my self up. I think there may be some sort of clinical problem with me when it comes to the subject of cupcakes. They just make me so happy. Now this cupcake, it is super special. Not only is it moist, dense, and rich....but it has Oreos in it. And to add just that little bit of excess... cream cheese frosting...........excuse me I just got a little weak in the knees.

So, if there is someone you love, you need to make these right away....or if there is someone you don't love so much....and they are on a diet....make these right away....you get the gist.

1 ½ cups sugar
