Churro Cupcakes

It seems like this year a lot of people are having Fiesta Theme Parties, and I’m loving it. When I tell you  these cupcakes taste just like taking a bite into a churro I am not joking. Not only is the texture of this cupcake quite perfect, but the cinnamon and sugar topping make it taste like heaven. Also, adding the whipped frosting is just a bonus.
