These cupcakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more milk or butter next time.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cupcakes didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. They were still tasty, but I was a bit disappointed.

These lemon cream cupcakes were a delightful treat! The combination of the tangy lemon and sweet cream cheese frosting was perfect. They were also very easy to make, and I loved that I could use ingredients that I already had on hand.
