One of the most vivid memories I have of childhood is when I went to Disneyland for the very first time. You’d think that it would involve meeting Mickey or Minnie, or sailing along in the little boats listening to “It’s a Small World After All..”  While I do have sweet memories of these things, my most vivid memory was being handed a warm, cinnamon-sugary stick of heaven. Yes, my introduction to the churro.

I remember thinking, “Where have you been my whole life??” (I was only 8, but still!).

Whenever I get a hankering for a little bit of childhood nostalgia, I always whip up these Churro Cupcakes. It’s the best of baked goods–sweet fluffy cupcakes with a sugary, crispy chaser.

I originally posted these cupcakes to go along with the Day of the Dead Halloween Party for Oriental Trading blog. But, these cupcakes are in no way relegated to the month of October–they are a cupcake for all seasons!
