How Hard Can it Be - Part 11

Success on the second try.

The Lemon Cupcakes turned out nicely. Could be a little more lemony. I'll know that  for next time. However, the icing that came along with the recipe tasted funny so I used the cream cheese icing instead. Whew. No wonder I stick with the same tried and true recipes. Less chance of messing up.

I remade the Black Velvet cupcakes with Martha Stewart's recipe. Why didn't I go with that the first time? They still have a little bit of an unusual taste but that's probably because they have vinegar in them?

I'm on my way over - they look fabulous :)

So glad they worked out the second time - there's nothing worse than craving something and then being disappointed in the end result (or no result as happened in your case)!

Yum, aren't you susie homemaker. Looks wonderful. Bummer about the first round, but you've obviously conquered.
