WATERMELON CUPCAKES

Watermelon Cupcakes image

My granddaughter and I bake together each week. She was inspired by her mommy's flavored syrups, so we came up with these watermelon cupcakes. If you are not going to pipe the frosting, you can reduce the amount of frosting by half. -Elizabeth Bramkamp, Gig Harbor, Washington

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. The cupcakes were dry and the frosting was too sweet.

I had some trouble getting the cupcakes to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.
