My husband loved these cupcakes, and he isn't a big sweets person at all. I am making these for my son's birthday party. Next I think I'll use stronger coffee though.

Delicious they were a big hit. Everyone loved them.

The taste was wonderful once baked, but while they're baking they smell like burning coffee. Also, my cupcakes didn't puff up as they baked; they just spilled over their cupcake liners and baked onto the pan in a mess. I had to turn the mess into a trifle, b/c they were useless as cupcakes. It was a delicious trifle, but I wouldn't try these as cupcakes in the future...maybe a good recipe for a 13x9" cake.

These were great, especially the icing! They didn't have as much coffee flavor as I was expecting, but everyone loved them anyways!

Delicious, but the icing was a bit messy. Tastier than regular frosting, though. Next time I think that I will try to use stronger coffee to get a little more flavor.

These cupcakes are fantastic! I made these for a party, and they were gobbled! I had a bit of icing left over - perfect in a cup of coffee, or on a spoon...

This recipe was VERY quick & easy. I made it into a layer cake instead of cupcakes. It was a great after dinner dessert.
