"I loved how the cupcakes turned out- and I didn't change a thing about the recipe. I agree that the buttercream was the most challenging part of the whole thing, but it tasted great and not overly sweet as a lot of frostings are almost sickeningly sweet. My boyfriend just got grossed out because he felt like he was eating so much butter that was just sitting on top of a cake. Maybe next time for him I will substitute a cream cheese frosting. Overall a great recipe!!
