We were having brunch at Parks and Rec inside the stoic GAR building in downtown Detroit and we saw these and fell in love. We posted the picture and a recipe was posted by facebook fan Butch MacDonald, we also found it here: http://foodfloozie.blogspot.com/2012/10/vernors-cupcakes-for-detroit-tigers.html
