My mom often made these cute cupcakes when I was young. They go over just as well now when I bake them for our three children. My husband and I raise grain and cattle-and in my spare time, I enjoy needle crafts, woodworking and reading.-Lorelie Miller, Benito, Manitoba

These cupcakes are a great make-ahead dessert. You can make them a day or two ahead of time and they'll still be fresh and delicious.

The whipped cream frosting is the perfect finishing touch for these cupcakes. It's light and airy, and it doesn't overpower the other flavors.
