“My daughter loves all things 'girly' and pink, so this recipe was perfect for her birthday,” says Paulette Smith from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. “Oddly enough, my teenager son (who's not a fan of pink) devours these cupcakes, too!”

I didn't have a problem with these being dry. My problem with this recipe is the bland taste! What little flavor there is reminds me of eating buttermilk pancakes. The frosting wasn't that great either. I'd rather use a box mix than this recipe.

I followed this cake recipe exactly and the cupcake was pretty dry. I made it to give to my brother and niece that were visiting and I decided not to serve them.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this recipe! I read all the reviews and have to admit i was a little worried the first time i made this (for an office party) It was wonderful and everyone loved it. the frosting was so easy to make and was delish! i barely had enough to cover the cake since my kids kept eating it out of the bowl. I'm not sure where everyone else was having problems, I followed the recipe and it came out perfect!

Very good. I used a little less flour. Very moist and tasted very good.

Okay I just pulled them out of the oven and let them cool. My cupcakes came out moist and fluffy. The flavor and texture is great. I followed the recipe exactly except I added 4 tsp of vanilla to the mix. I plan on decorating the cupcakes tomorrow morning so hopefully they'll taste the same tomorrow as they do tonight.

I sure don't know what the hype is all about. The only thing I changed in this was I used frosting gel for the color. I cooked them 25 min, they were very dense and dry. I didn't find the frosting at all appealing.

I think my mistake was making the cupcakes the day before. I found them to be VERY DRY. The reviews scared me off from trying the frosting. I went directly to my delicious cream cheese frosting. We ate the frosting, threw the cake away :(

Just a question: I wonder if these could be made with cake flour?

These cupcakes are very good. I added a teaspoon of cocoa powder in with the dry ingredients and frosted them with cream cheese frosting instead of the white chocolate frosting. will definitely make again!

I made these with orange food coloring for Halloween! I did use cream cheese frosting. They were a huge hit.
