These were perfect! I can't imagine how this icing came out runny. It was fluffy and simply lovely. Thank you for this one!

My family LOVES these! The cake itself is really good, but the frosting is so perfect and puts these over the top. Don't skip on the lemon in the frosting - it makes the whole thing!

After reading the reviews about the"runny" frosting, I was hesitant to make these cupcakes but I went ahead and the frosting turned out great for me. These cupcakes taste so good even my kids were oooing and aahing over them! The frosting really make these cupcakes something special.

I do not like to use shortening, could butter be substituted?

my husband said OMG don't lose this recipe, so yes I will be making it again. and it turned out great... as for the frosting I did not have any banana left so did not use that.. but it was wonderful just the same..

I substituted a few ingredients to make these healthier. I used a low calorie margarine, wheat flour and milk instead of the buttermilk. The wheat flour was a bad choice on my part. I do agree with the other reviewers that the frosting is too runny. I'm not crazy about frostings that use a lot of powdered sugar anyway. I didn't have enough banana for the frosting, so I used applesauce instead. I had to add quite a bit more sugar to the "frosting" which made it way too sweet 'n sugary. If I make these again, which I doubt I do, I would find a different frosting recipe. This frosting is more like a glaze.
