I see Cupcakes dancing in my head...

Cupcakes, cupcakes EVERYWHERE! I just got a recipe from a friend who wants me to make him Guiness BEER cupcakes. And Skipperdee just sent me a link for a restaurant here in NYC that makes Macha Green Tea cupcakes (restaurant name: BarFry).
In college my specialty was massages--apparently I gave great back massages. That was almost 10 (did I say TEN?) years ago. My new specialty is cupcakes. And, the funny part is, I only JUST learned how to make a cupcake from scratch (Vegan at that). My cupcakes are always (except for the Vegan variety) of the boxed kind. I just like to experiment with flavorings. I made a mint chocolate chip cupcake for my Dear Sweet. First time--peppermint extract, second time--pure mint extract. I think the pure mint was a better fit to the chocolate chip. Peppermint would be good for a Christmasy themed cupcake. But now I want to experiment with making cupcakes from scratch. But that takes time and patience--both of which I have none. I'll load up some pics of my cupcakes the next time I make them.
(I'm going to attempt some form of a S'mores cupcake--chocolate cupcake, fluff frosting, graham cracker topping)???
