Followed the recipe exactly. Filled the liners half way and baked for only 12 minutes. They were crisp on the top as another reviewer stated so they do frost well. They are dense and not very sweet.

I liked how this recipe tasted and it baked well. I used butter for flavor instead of shortening. I added egg whites plus one egg. It came out fluffy and lite without being too sweet.

Nice dense but still moist, and not overly sweet. I also added 1/4 cup milk and used butter not crisco. The tops were a smooth lightly crisp top, not the sticky tops that come with box mixes. Easier to put the frosting on that way! Wonderful recipe!

A good recipe! Yes, you do have to make some changes to add moisture to the cupcakes, but it is not that hard! A tbsp of milk is all you need and they come out lovely and moist. I added some extra vanilla for a bit more of a "punch," and it definitely helped! I topped with chocolate icing and they were quite yummy!

The things i changed in this recipe was using margarine instead of crisco, adding 1/4c milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and they turned out excellent! Oh yeah, and liquid food gel to make them hot pink! I made mini cupcakes, so they only needed about 15 min to bake. Make sure to cream the sugar with the margarine very, very well, don't over mix the rest, and you will end up with a light, fluffly, and moist cupcake!

Recipe was yummy. You definitely will need to add the 2 tbsp of water as it comes out very thick. Also, the recipe only made 8 cupcakes for me-normal size, but full-they came out very pretty.
