Last week I had the opportunity to meet Lizzy from Your Cup of Cake. She is such a sweet person and she can COOK!!!! She truly is amazing. She came out with a cute cupcake cookbook the same time we came out with ours. It is called Your Cup of Cake and you can find it at here. This recipe is from her website and it got a 10 at a family BBQ. My sisters are still talking about the Almond Joy Cupcakes from Your Cup of Cake! They are the best cupcakes I have ever made.

Spread a good dab of cream cheese filling on top of the chocolate cupcake. Try and keep the filling in the center of the cupcake and make it as smooth as you can get it on top.
