Frosting only --- Very simple, and quick. It whipped-up to be a gorgeous glossy white fluff, which I piled high onto twenty cupcakes. The consistency is so creamy and light; wonderful alternative to traditional heavy sickly-sweet cake icings. I did not use lemon this time, but vanilla instead. It is delicious, easy, and beautiful.

The recipe honestly is not the best. The cupcakes came out very dry, my husband compared them to a very dry cornbread! :( We have a birthday party this weekend and he told me please dont make this recipe. He went and bought pillsbury yellow cake mix. They are many recipes out there. I recommend for any recipe, specially cakes, try them first before taking them to a party. :

My first time making both the frosting and cupcake - didn't have a problem with dryness. I'm a photographer professionally with an obsession with cooking/baking, so I made them to photograph for my portfolio. They're just too much fun!

I did not make the cupcakes, but used the frosting. This reminds of the 7 minute frosting I used to make only easier. Love it... I did not flavor it with lemon, but used chopped maraschino cherries that was squeezed dry. I put this on a cherry cake. It was a hit. This is my new favorite frosting. Thank you for the recipe.

I am a devout food network baker and this is the first bad review I have given a recipe thus far. I was so excited to make these cupcakes, but unfortunately they were terrible. I followed the recipe precisely, and what resulted were very dry cupcakes (because there is so much butter and everything else...yet only 1/2 cup of milk and 2 eggs? the batter was oddly very thick, and the frosting was mediocre and almost tasteless. Don't waste your time on these cupcakes - there are numerous better recipes you can try.

I'm a beginner baker and so I don't have a wealth of experience. I do have to admit though, everything I've ever made has always been really delicious.

However, this recipe didn't taste the way I expected. The cupcake batter was delicious and so was the meringue frosting! The cupcake itself after baking was really dry. I don't know how I could tweak the recipe so that the cupcakes would be more moist. Maybe bake for a shorter period of time?

The cupcakes were edible, but nothing I would rave about to my friends. I wouldn't recommend this recipe unless you know how to make the cupcakes more moist.
