BIG Icing FAIL

Ladies, why aren't you baking out there? Who doesn't LOVE CupCakes!? These ones are especially simple and AMAZING! Give them a shot... but don't forget to come back and link up!
Ingredients coming together.






























They're beautiful! And so delicious. Mine have kind of a pound-cake-like consistency. A-MAZ-ING!

However the icing recipe that was attached to the cupcake recipe was just awful!!! The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of Milk.... I figured, ok... lets see how this goes. I mix and mix and mix.... and it still had the consistency of the cupcake batter. Horrible. So I wound up going with Mrs. Martha's Fluffy Vanilla Frosting from page 302 of her Cupcake Cookbook.








Pretty huh? Give it a shot, tell your readers, and link up! The McLinky comes down in two days, Sunday, January 30th!! These Yellow Cupcakes are not as popular or "cool" as Red Velvet but man, they are quickly becoming our household favorite!

I'm glad you got your icing to work out! I really do think it was a typo after reading all the reviews...b/c everyone loved the cake but not the frosting :)
