recipe :: Cinnamon Cupcakes

You don't know this but Cinnamon is my most favourite taste and smell in the whole wide world! And so, because tomorrow Mr Pepper and I are celebrating our anniversary I thought it would be a great opportunity to 'splash' out on the bestest of the best...why not?!
Here's the super delicious recipe which, by the way, I took from A Spoonful of Sugar. Hope you can find a little time for this amazing little treat....or...go on, have two then!
