Our family is really into Tacos!  And I mean way more than Taco Tuesday.  It’s more like Taco Tuesday through Saturday with Burritos on Sunday and Monday.  At least, that’s how it would be if I cooked only what I like to eat.  I just love tacos.  They are delicious any way you make them and they are pretty inexpensive, so that makes them great party food.  So for the first party of our holiday season, we are having a taco bar.

But what dessert do you want to make with a taco bar?  There is no party without something sweet (also a personal feeling).  The first thing that comes to my mind for a latin themed dessert is–cinnamon (which also goes really well with Fall).  For this party, we made Churro Cupcakes with a Dulce de Leche filling.  They are delicious with hints of cinnamon and sugar everywhere.  First the cake, which I choose to make from a boxed yellow cake, is swirled with cinnamon and brown sugar.  Then it’s filled with the Dulce de Leche caramel and topped with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting.  

But there is no churro cupcake without something fried.  So we finished the cake off with fried, cinnamon-sugar tortillas, cut in the shape of leaves.  My daughter has just turned two and she already loves to be in the kitchen with me.  And I love having her there.  So I wanted to top the cupcakes with something that she could help me make.  Together we used cookie cutters to cut shaped tortillas, which she LOVED!  Then I took over for the frying before we sprinkled the “leaves” With cinnamon and sugar.  This took less than 10 minutes, but was a great way to spend time working alongside my daughter in the kitchen.

These cakes were a hit at the party and have a perfect amount of cinnamon whispered in every bite!
