LEMON-CREAM CHEESE CUPCAKES

DELCIOUS! Well, that's what I hear. I haven't tasted them due to some restrictions this week. I needed to bake something for the office, but didn't want to bake the "usuals." So, I went to Kraftfoods.com and found this incredible recipe!!!!! The best part of it...It's super cheap and you get to frost the cupcakes! I love frosting cupcakes! Enjoy! :)
