These cupcakes were wonderful. The smell of them baking reminds me of fall. I will make them over and over again.

Cupcakes flattened as they cooled, but were very tasty. Icing did not turn out like the picture. Would make cupcakes again, but use a different frosting.

Wonderful cupcakes. The only change I made was to add almond extract for the vanilla extract.

Cooked the cupcakes as long as the recipe stated. Cupcakes were done yet within minutes of them cooling, they sunk. Other than that issue, everything was heavenly. BIG hit with the family and friends.

I made these for Thanksgiving and everyone loved them! To garnish, I sprinkled ground cinnamon on top and put a whole pecan on top. They looked great!

These are ridiculously good. Everytime I make them someone thanks me. Don't skimp on the ingredients for the frosting - its the star of the show. Use real butter and I use premium cinnamon.
