I'm not a fan of chocolate mint, but these cupcakes were surprisingly good. The frosting was especially delicious.

These cupcakes were a little dry, but the frosting was delicious. I think I'll try adding some extra moisture to the batter next time.

These cupcakes were a disaster! The frosting was too runny and the cupcakes were dry.
