I'm a beginner baker, but this cupcake turned out amazing! I won't say it was easy; it certainly took a couple of hours, however, the end result was delicious! A couple changes that I made to the recipe: instead of adding mango juice concentrate (because I couldn't find it in any local stores, I added mango pulp. The mango was still very pronounced in the cupcake. In addition, I would DEFINITELY recommend cutting the amount of frosting and mango curd in half. This recipe produced me 16 cupcakes, but enough frosting and curd for 30+. I noticed that someone said the cake was very dry for them, however, I did not run into that problem. The cake puffed up very nicely and was moist enough for a pound cake. All in all, this cupcake was a huge success, from the frosting to the curd inside!

Ordinarily, I'm a very good home baker, but I was disappointed with this recipe. However, it may not be the fault of the recipe. I was unable to find the primary flavor ingredient for the cake, the mango concentrate, in our local stores. So I reduced the mango nectar on the stovetop, but I'm sure it's just not as flavorful as the concentrate. So, the mango flavor was nearly absent in the cake. Also, the coriander flavor did not come through well in the cake. I was expecting pound cake to be dense, and this was, but it was also very dry. The mango curd was delicious, but the recipe makes 3 times the amount needed to fill the cupcakes. The cake batter only made 18 cupcakes. The frosting recipe is very tasty, but has to be refrigerated or the whipped cream will break down. I made a half batch of frosting, and had enough to generously frost 24 cupcakes. Probably won't try this one again.

Great cupcake! Not too hard to make and tons of flavor to boot. I loved watching Lily on the show I hope FN has her back soon. I highly recommend this cupcake when you're in the mood for something a little different.

I didn't make the cupcakes because I am doing a cupcake wedding and was testing different frostings, This frosting is the Bomb!!! It is so delicious and light, I Loved it and plan on using it for my vanilla bean cupcakes. It pipes beautifully and looks very elegant! I added a pinch of vanilla bean sea salt and some vanilla bean paste and it was wonderful.

I'm not a professional, but I wanted a challenge that would give me a cupcake that was alittle different from the norm. This cupcake (the name is a bit of a mouthful was an outstanding success at a recent party, and I had a blast making it! And mine looked just like the picture!
