This post will be short and very sweet! My cousin is visiting from Germany with her daughter and I have a limited amount of time to see them before they travel to Northern California. These cupcakes came out with no problems and I followed the recipe as stated. I used my own buttercream frosting because it's what DH loves; he took most of them to work and the comments were that the cupcakes were "intense"; not sure what that ment, maybe too chocolatie. I felt they were a bit crumbly (dry), but all in all a good flavor. Next time maybe some applesauce or sour cream to make them more moist. Or, just use my favorite devils food recipe.

Oh...they are beautiful.
I had one person comment that they were "wicked chocolately". Maybe that is Bostonian for "intense" ;)
I like the little pink plate...too cute!
Wow, I bet they were intense - they look amazing with the buttercream. Nice.
Lovely and very "classic!"
I'd love to hear about your favorite devil's food cake recipe -- I'm still searching for the "ultimate" chocolate cake recipe.
Beautiful cupcakes! And I love the plate.
Bummer they were a little dry but your buttercream looks awesome with it! Thanks for baking with me this week!

I used plain yogurt instead of buttermilk and I think that really helped. The buttercream looks great!
They are beautiful! I love how they are decorated! Do you have your buttercream frosting posted?
SO Elegant! I think the devil's food cake sounds like it would be absolutely perfect!
Your cupcakes are beautiful. I live in northern California...maybe you could give some to your cousin to bring out here. Just saying...no?
