  • Banana butterscotch cupcakes

      These were fabulous!!!! A big hit w/the family! A keeper & winner!

      Fantastic. The frosting is the best part. And, I have no other recipes for butterscotch chips, these are yummy. It makes 48 mini's. Only bake them 11-12 min. They freeze wonderfully.

  • Easy-mix yellow cupcake batter

    • LisaO on February 17, 2015

      This base serves as the base for many of the recipes in the book. The ratios are excellent. The fact that it is a base serves the book well.

  • Peanut butter cupcakes with milk chocolate glaze

    • LisaO on February 17, 2015

      I love this book despite one recipe. This one, not great. Don't think I'd even bother trying again. My filling sank. They were dry, crumbly and too rich.

  • Top-to-bottom crumb cupcakes

    • LisaO on February 17, 2015

      These are really really good. Crumbly top and bottom, what could be better? Use the master recipe on page 23, easy-mix yellow cupcake batter for 12 regular cupcakes. The note in the box says it makes 18 regular cupcakes but then below under the cupcake section it says 18 medium. There is no ratio of 18 medium or regular cupcakes in the master recipe on page 23 for the easy -mix yellow cupcake batter.
