I'm asked quite often where I get my recipes.  I make them up, I say. Through trial and error, I developed a basic recipe that then allows me to play around with the right ingredients to make a cupcake with the desired flavor.  So then the next question is usually, where do I get my inspiration.  Everywhere I say.  When I was creating my drink inspired cuptails, the inspiration came from a list of my favorite drinks.  But these next few cupcakes, are not drink related (well not alcohol drink related). 
The next cupcake in my whirlwind of cupcakery bakeryinging came from a thought I had in the grocery store.  Circus Animals!  I know, it's already a yummy cookie, why turn it into a cupcake?  And I say, why not?
