First of all, don't make the mistake I did and assume this makes an average pan of cupcakes. It makes NINE. Fortunately I had a mini muffin tin on hand so I didn't have to show up for coffee hour at church with a measly nine cupcakes. The cakes were ok but nothing special. The glaze (confectioner's sugar liquid makes glaze) will not look like the picture. It is not frosting. I ended up using store bought frosting. Won't make these again.

would make again with changes,found them a little bland,would add 1 tsp vanilla, also use frozen orange juice, undiluted, also since they are low fat don't use paper liners, they will stick!!

My kids and I liked these cupcakes, even though they didn't rise as high as the picture. Maybe I don't have the same size muffin tin that others may have. As for the sugar blend, I just use half Splenda and half sugar to equal the amount of sugar blend called for. It seems to work for me in other recipes. Thanks for sharing!

These cupcakes were wonderful. My husband and son- in- law ate all but the 2 I hide. Good even without the frosting.

Simply double it for table sugar. I intend on trying the recipe with Whey Low Granular D and the powdered version too. I get mine from http://wheylow.com (it's not cheap) but if you can't have sugar, it is WONDERFUL. Plus you can bake it 1:1, same as sugar. I particularly love WLD for baking fruit pies, AMAZING!Warmly,Sharon Anne

Regular white sugar can be substituted for Splenda or sugar blend. I know many people who do the opposite and subsitute Splenda for sugar straight across.

I would just like for someone to say if this is as yummy as it sounds... but all of you are repeating the same complaint instead. =(

Was planning on making this but noticed 'sugar blend'.....some reviews say it's Splenda...since I can't use 'splenda' type sugars, what can be used instead and what quantities?
