I have used several recipes from the foodnetwork website and have never had any problems, and I have also baked several cakes and cupcakes that received high praise. These "cupcakes," however, were TERRIBLE!
They were incredibly dry inspite of the fact that I tried a second batch with cake flour and oil instead of all-purpose flour and butter. The consistency and texture was not cake-like at all, but more along the lines of a dinner biscuit.
The only good part of the cupcake was the strawberry....which doesn't require a recipe. The frosting definitely didn't play the role of "the icing on the cake" but seemed to play the role of savior in an attempt to save these "cupcakes."

Disappointing especially considering such rave reviews.

These cup cakes are awesome. The batter itself is on the heavier side so be sure to beat it throughouly to get air into it. they are a great summer treat and I usually slice the srawberries and put several slices in one cup!

I took another readers suggestion and baked the batter with the strawberry and it turned out delicious! Keep enough extra strawberries and hand though the decorate the top as you get a bit of hallow/deflated where the strawberry baked.

Recipe is definitely a keeper and one I've already passed on to many friends.

I thought the frosting was delicious and fresh but the cupcake was a little dry and not impressive. The flavor of the lime and strawberries didn't blow me away either.

Cutting a hole for the strawberries and getting the tops to fit is a bit difficult at first but well worth it! The icing is wonderful!

I made these yesterday for my birthday party because I wanted a very grown up cupcake. I cheated becaused I had white cake mix on hand and used that because I had so many other things cooking that I didn't want to mess it up. There were no strawberries in the market so I used a box of fresh raspberries and a box of fresh blackberries. I sprinkled some powdered sugar on them and stuffed each cupcake with one of each. The icing was fantastic, but I should have made more. I topped each cupcake with a berry. the guests loved it. I will definitly make this again.

These cupcakes come out soft, springy, and very tasty! I had to make a couple changes to the icing recipe, however. I added more lime juice than recommended and a smidgen of water -- This made the icing more "spreadable" over the top of the cupcake, and still set perfectly. These cupcakes are the perfect grown up treat! (I also made a variation on this recipe, as well... I made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing with raspberries inside, and those went over very well, too!!
