My cupcakes turned out a little dry. Maybe I overbaked them.

The salted caramel cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. The caramel sauce was very rich, so I would recommend using less of it next time.

My cupcakes didn't turn out as fluffy as I would have liked, but the caramel sauce was still delicious.

I'm not typically a fan of cupcakes, but these salted caramel cupcakes were phenomenal. The caramel sauce was rich and decadent, and the cupcakes were perfectly moist.

I absolutely loved these salted caramel cupcakes. The caramel sauce was smooth and creamy, while the cupcakes themselves were moist and fluffy. The combination of sweet and salty flavors was perfect.
