Letter 'V'! We are getting very close to the end of the alphabet and these cupcakes from Cupcakes! by Elinor Klivans are a great way to celebrate prematurely. They are comprised of a simple yellow cake batter, covered with a layer of cheesecake and then some crumbly goodness on top--a party in your mouth. With all of their layers there are several steps involved in the cupcakes' baking process, but generally this is a pretty simple recipe to follow. The gold cupcake liners I used are part of my ever growing collection (I CAN'T stop buying them). They give the cakes a very festive look--a glass (or two) of champagne would be a great accompaniment!
