cpr spice cupcake with a praline icing
CPR - cranberry pecan rum lol I was playing in the kitchen again today...Trying to come up with new cupcake flavors or should I say old flavors with a new twist... Well this one turned out mighty good! With my newly created Praline Frosting also! :) You can make this without alcohol as well...just use water instead of rum in the cake and in the icing just omit it. :)
