These are wonderful. I've never had such beautiful cupcakes before I frosted them - they came out very well. The frosting is very yummy too. Cupcake and frosting are a great pair! Very moist and flavorful. I had extra batter so I made 12 mini cupcakes in addition to the 12 regular cupcakes. Mini cupcakes baked in about 9-11 minutes.
