Easy to follow directions but I read the reviews and complaints about sweetness. The cake isn't very sweet but the frosting off sets that I added a little more cherry extract. the frosting is a little runny but just put it in the middle of cupcake and let it do its thing. I found the cherry extract at walmart (hope that helps.

I had high hopes for these cupcakes. However, despite the addition of black cherry soda, they just tasted like slightly dry chocolate cupcakes. The cherries on top and the colored icing added nice visual appeal, but these in no way tasted like black cherry anything.

I got all the right ingredients and followed the directions EXACTLY and yet my cupcakes didn't turn out well. they took FOREVER to bake( longer than they should have and the icing melted as soon as I stopped mixing it! I couldn't taste and cherry in either the cupcakes or the icing... so I hope every one eles's turned out fine... Not recommended!
