How to make churro cupcakes

Cupcakes directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin/cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- In a stand mixer, beat together the sugar and butter for the cupcake batter.
- Add the eggs and mix again.
- Add the vanilla extract, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon and mix again.

Churro cupcakes topping

While the cupcakes are baking, melt the butter for the cupcake topping in a microwave safe bowl big enough for you to dip cupcake tops in. In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar for the topping. Set both bowls to the side.

Making cinnamon icing

Combine all of the icing ingredients except the powdered sugar in the stand mixer and mix on low speed. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time to the bowl as you mix. Continue to mix on low speed until stiff peaks begin to form. Take a piping bag with a star tip and fill it ¾ with the icing.

Once the cupcakes are done and completely cooled you can then dip each cupcake in the melted butter and then dip the cupcakes in the cinnamon sugar mix. Once they have the toppings you can then squeeze the cinnamon icing on each cupcake and then drizzle the caramel sauce. The final touch is top each cupcake with a yummy churro.
