I made these and the cupcakes were dry and my friends all said the frosting tasted like toothpaste. I'm shocked this recipe won!

I can't really rave about the buttercream. It is a hard technique to master, as Italian buttercreams can break so easy. But this cake is great. I found that I didn't need the simple sryup, all by itself the cake was extremely moist. I was surprised because of the use of butter not oil. However, I creamed the butter and sugar forever. Also on the addition of water, I used hot water, and added a little ground clove with the spices. Great flavor and texture.

the cupcakes tasted great. Had a little trouble with the icing. Didn't get a very good consistency. But they tasted great. A little too much work for me though.

The cupcakes came out nicely--good gingerbread flavor. A little drier than I would have liked, but still good. The frosting didn't have much mango taste whatsoever. It also made a ridiculous quantity--I would cut it in 1/2 or use only 1/4 to ice 12 cupcakes. The frosting was also not very solid, but this maybe because I used 3 sticks butter and 1 stick margarine.
