Cannoli Cupcakes

My dream vacation would be spending a week (or month...or year...) in Italy.  First, I would tour the Colosseum, and then I would toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain. Next, I would dine at a cafe in Venice and then head to Sicily for a cream filled cannoli.  But in reality, I'm here at home watching the rain pour from the sky for the second day in a row.  My two Papillons, my precious "fur babies," are shaking from the sound of thunder and are hiding under the couch.  Although it's not exactly vacation weather today, I found inspiration in my kitchen with these cannoli cupcakes.  Italy will have to wait for another day, but right now I'm enjoying my cream filled cannoli cupcakes just I would if I were in Rome.  And you know what they say, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."  So I might have to sample a couple more of these before the kids get home!  I wouldn't want to disappoint my favorite country!
