Suggestion –

Often I like to melt a little dulce de leche and drip them on the cupcakes just like caramel.

So what is your favorite cupcakes flavor? or Combination? I love cupcakes myself and I must say while these are the best ever dulce de leche cupcakes, my absolute favorite is cupcakes topped with whipped cream and strawberries.
