These cupcakes were a disaster! The cake was too dense and the frosting was too runny. I ended up throwing them away.

The cupcakes were a little dry, but the frosting was amazing! I would definitely make these again, but I would try a different cake recipe.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cupcakes, but these were really good! The frosting was light and fluffy, and the cake was moist and flavorful.

These cupcakes were so easy to make and they turned out so cute! I love the little shamrock sprinkles on top.

I made these cupcakes for my kids' school party and they were a huge success! The kids loved the festive green color and the cupcakes were gone in minutes.

These cupcakes were a hit at my St. Patrick's Day party! They were moist and fluffy, with a delicious vanilla flavor. The green frosting was the perfect finishing touch.
