Ice cream sundaes are a longtime dessert classic – icy cool and easy to create for parents and kids alike. Another longtime dessert favourite is the cupcake. Whether it's because of their small size and easy flavour customization or simply their nostalgic nature, cupcakes have quickly ascended the ranks to become the dessert of the moment.  So with the cupcake trend here to stay, why not get creative and combine these two classics to make a delicious (and decadent) dessert your family and friends will love?
