Adysons Dreamy Creamy Cupcakes

By Diane Rosolen 

With the Holidays quickly approaching, we all start to pull out the good old family recipes that have been in our families for generations. I often like to create a new recipe to my collection and add another traditional dish/dessert. This particular recipe that I would like to share with you I conjured back in the late 70's but changed it up a bit a couple of years ago. Now that I have a little Granddaughter, I thought it be fitting to add a little more sweetness to this delectable dessert, its all of her favorite little sweets, I call this recipe:
