These cupcakes for Cheesecake lovers! These cupcakes are Graham Cracker cupcakes that are filled with Cherry or Cheesecake filing, topped with Cheesecake Icing and Cherry filling. You can skip the filling and just top it with Cheesecake Icing, both versions are absolutely delicious! This maybe my new favorite cupcake! Enjoy! Live, Love, Eat Sweets!
