<reasoning>

Identify the introductory modifier and the subject

The introductory phrase is "Filled with cream, covered in chocolate frosting, and dusted with sprinkles." The subject of the main clause immediately following this modifier is "you."

Analyze the relationship between modifier and subject

The introductory participial phrase describes something that is filled, covered, and dusted. Grammatically, this modifier must describe the subject of the main clause, which is "you." However, a person ("you") cannot be filled with cream, covered in chocolate frosting, and dusted with sprinkles; this description is meant for "this cupcake."

Determine if a dangling modifier is present

Because the modifier does not logically modify the subject "you," it is a dangling modifier (or "dangler"). Therefore, the statement that the sentence contains a dangler is true.
