A bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

These cupcakes are so moist and flavorful! I love the hint of spice from the cinnamon and nutmeg. The frosting is also perfect - not too sweet and not too heavy.

Not a fan of the spice combination. The cupcakes were a bit too spicy for my liking.

The cupcakes were moist and fluffy, but the frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the sugar next time.
