Via @notsohumblepie on Twitter.But be warned...she writes about some of the travails of making the filling:Let me tell you all, there are some really gross filling recipes out there!

       Personally, Famous Cupcakes from Valley Village (now in Beverly Hills, too) takes the cake when it comes to best cupcakes in Los Angeles. It's not about buzz or the crazy themed flavors, it's the cake part. Everyone can do frosting, but the true test is the cake part. Is it moist? Full of flavor? Could you eat it without the frosting? That's just me, though. Today is National Cupcake Day and as we asked you on Sunday, what is your...
