I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cupcakes didn't turn out as moist as I expected.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I really enjoyed these cupcakes. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is not too sweet.

These cupcakes were a huge hit at my last luau! They're so moist and flavorful, and the pineapple frosting is to die for. I'll definitely be making them again.
