"These have to be one of the BEST cupcakes I've ever made!! The chocolate extract REALLY makes it, so it's worth finding. As well as the little hint of almond. For the frosting, I've actually used a little less powdered sugar and it was plenty sweet (1 1/2-3/4 cup)"

  1. I used a little less of the powdered sugar (about 1/2 a cup less) and they came out just as sweet. They were delicious! Even my omni family loved them!

  5. Super easy recipe! The cupcakes come out moist, and fluffy. I made mini cupcakes, and i skipped the food coloring... I just couldn't get myself to use the stuff i got at walmart with red #40 and red #3 and other chemicals. The ingredients in this recipe are so simple, so in the future I'd make an effort to buy some natural organic red food coloring if it exists. <br/><br/>I can't say people weren't apprehensive to trying mine at a party I went to, especially since someone brought a package of store bought red velvet mini cupcakes that were way more attractive than mine, and they were red. But mine were made with these simple ingredients, and those had a list of at least 30 ingredients! I'll stick with home made. Apparently other people felt the same way because all of mine got eaten... eventually... when the others ran out... but that's not the point!<br/><br/>I also agree that the frosting recipe calls for a bit too much sugar. I only used 1 cup of powdered sugar, it allowed for more "cream cheese" taste in the frosting.
