Baking is like therapy to me! Whenever I feel down or stressed, I know I can go into the kitchen and whip up a batch of these delicious cupcakes, which I created. I share my baked items with my family and friends. Sometimes I crumble a few slices of bacon and sprinkle over top of freshly iced cupcakes. This delicious combination tastes like Sunday Brunch in cupcake form. —Jenny Weaver, Glendale, Arizona
