I'm not a fan of chocolate, but these cupcakes were still delicious. The glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

Not impressed. The cupcakes were dry and the glaze was too thick. I would not recommend this recipe.

These cupcakes were a disaster! I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out dry and crumbly. I would not recommend this recipe.
