FYI Pedro Ximenez is going to be quite sweet, as well as any cream sherry. Fino / Manzanilla is the driest and lightest. Amontillado and Oloroso are going to be nuttier and more oxidative in style. I personally prefer Manzanilla served ice cold. It’s quite refreshing, salty, fresh and easy to drink.
Sherry can be an acquired taste, just keep that in mind. If you can find a bottle of Hidalgo La Gitana Manzanilla I think that would be the perfect starting point.

I highly recommend this book. You'll learn a lot about sherry from it.

The first thing I can think of is the Adonis and the Sherry Cobbler. I'm not sure how it would pair with cupcakes, but then my taste buds are kind of biased against sweet vermouth. There's a recipe called the Bamboo Cocktail that is similar to the Adonis but uses dry vermouth instead of sweet.
But before I look through the catalogs and find some other stuff, I want to ask if you are looking for cocktails wherein sherry is the primary ingredient, or for cocktails in which sherry is merely one of several ingredients. It would also be helpful to know what kind of sherry you're using.

The Dunhill seems pretty nice. Most recipes prefer a specific type of sherry but I'm sure you could get away with using what you have on you.
There's a "modern guide" style book that looks pretty good, focused on demystifying sherry and offering cocktail recipes. Available in hardcover and on Kindle.
There's a few interesting recipes combining sherry and rye whiskey in this Chemistry of the Cocktail blog entry.
An interesting recipe called Whispers of the Frost combining bourbon, port and sherry.
This Ginger Snap recipe combines sherry and ginger ale.
This book came out last year and I think it's a great introduction to one of the most under appreciated drinks on the planet
