The flavored are fantastic! The cake was a touch dry for my liking after baking 20 minutes, and the frosting got too soft to pipe rather quickly. But they taste so good, I will definitely make again! Perhaps next time I will bake a little less, and refrigerate the frosting for awhile before piping on.

Everyone loved them! The frosting was perfect after refrigerating it for a few hours. Cupcakes were moist.

These were just ok. Maybe I was expecting more, but I'd be just as happy with a chocolate cupcake made from a box and canned frosting...

These are the best! Very moist. I like that it only makes 12, just enough but not too many for my family. I have made these more than once and am always satisfied!

Cupcakes were very dry and i didn't bake them as long as recipe said. Frosting was not fluffy and too sweet.
