Me and my dad were making cupcakes and forgot the cupcake wrappers and icing! So we went to the store and bought these pink and green flower wrappers and pink frosting. I'm ten years old and these were fun and easy to make. I gave you five stars because the cupcakes were incredibly delicious! My family loved them! THANK YOU!

Oh, my gosh! This recipe doesn't get any better. Totally shocked me. Whip, whip, whip the butter! I warmed the cold eggs in warm water before mixing. Then, I added a little butter flavoring. Thanks so very much!

This recipe was extremely good! My friend and I made it for New Year's Eve desert and are very happy. It was super easy to prepare (even though some directions are vague.) We added lemon juice to give it a lemon flavor. It's not done yet so we don't if this was a good idea or not. You might want to add a little less sugar however if you do the lemon juice :-D

I did a project with this recipe and we tried it with baking powder and baking soda and the baking soda works best because its sweeter, fluffier, and it browns on the top and adds a nice little crunch. They both tasted great, and they both work. Thought you might want to know.

Delicious when they first came out of the oven. Don't refrigerate well though
