These cupcakes were a bit too dry for my taste, but the frosting was really good. I think I'll try adding some more moisture to the cupcakes next time.

I thought these cupcakes were just okay. They were a bit too sweet for my taste and the frosting was a little too thick. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
