Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes

Mr. Gracious talks endlessly about his love for Boston Cream doughnuts. I mean, seriously, the man loves his doughnuts.  I was curious to see if he’d feel the same way about Boston Cream Pie, and being more of a cupcake person, I made some Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes.

Let me tell you, these were a huge hit, not just with Mr. Gracious, but with the whole family!  These will definitely become a regular in our dessert rotation.  I will admit that these Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes are a little time consuming to make, but they are so worth it.
