well... i finally gave in... i jumped on the bacon cupcake bandwagon... and i must say, i might never get off... ohhh man... these are amazing... seriously heaven...i got the final push to make these from my sister and her boyfriend... they just got back from a trip to seattle and portland (my sister ran her 4th marathon... she's a beast! :) ) and while they were out there they visited a well-known sweet spot called voodoo doughnuts where they ate the maple bacon doughnut... so, when they visited me, they talked and talked about how awesomely delicious these were... so... i caved... and all i can say is thank you...
i took some plain vanilla and chocolate cupcakes and topped them with a maple infused cream cheese frosting and topped them with some extra crispy bacon... i urge you to try these... you will not be disappointed!!

2 8oz. packages cream cheese, softened
