Best cupcakes ever! I used half the sugar in the frosting. The cupcakes are great without icing.

Thanks to all of you for your reviews. They always help me - a novice! - in my baking exploits!
Only gave 4 stars to this recipe because I didn't try the frosting. Kind of scared me - all the sugar, butter, etc is already in the cupcakes! YIKES! Followed the cupcake recipe to a "T" EXCEPT that I added the zest of TWO lemons AND the juice of 2 lemons. Since I wasn't going to use the frosting, I felt I needed to do that to get the entire lemon taste into the cupcakes.
Cupcakes are great WITHOUT frosting but I experimented a little...I melted half a big dark chocolate bar in the microwave and then drizzled the melted chocolate over the cupcakes. The dark chocolate was a little overpowering for me on the cupcake but I like the idea of drizzled chocolate. Consequently, I think next time I'll use milk chocolate. Same with simple icing - powedered sugar and warm water. I colored it blue/purple and drizzed it, just for decoration. Fun!

omg, these are the best cupcakes I have ever made and a huge hit with everyone! Use 8 cups of confection sugar not 10. I have made them several times and add the lemon juice to the batter taste so fresh. These cupcakes are light and airy. You could skip the frosting too and have them as breakfast treats.

Good and simple recipe with a nice combination of flavors. Too much sugar in the frosting. The sugar overpowered the cream cheese and the cream cheese flavor was lost. Reduced sugar to 9 1/2 cups and it was magnificent.

Absolutely AMAZING! I have used ALOT of recipes from this site and this one is by far the best! Blew my taste buds away! Oh but I didnt use NEAR the amount of powdered sugar it called for in the icing. I used half and it was great! and Yes you need just a bit of coloring for the icing. Overall: Very light and uplifting with a wonderful lemon kick.

I really like these cupcakes but we only put 5 cups of powdered sugar and it wasn't sweet enough. Also I made the rest of the recipe like it is and it did only make 24 cupcakes. Last I really liked these cupcakes.
