    I make this cupcakes all the time and love them. They are just like the bakery. I am pleased to have this recipe because I stood in line in the freezing cold for 30 mins to get these cupcakes, twice.

    Cupcake overflowed when baked ended up looking like flat mushroom
    And texture was too crumbly for my taste. Very unhappy with results.

    Tasty cupcakes, but the frosting was way too sweet. Use half of the confectioners' sugar - like so many recipes for buttercream frosting suggest - and taste the difference.

    I made these cupcakes for my children's birthday party at school. I love to bake and have been baking for many, many years. I rarely mess up a recipe and have a good feel for how to prepare baked goods. That being said, I will never make this recipe again. While the batter was beautiful and promising, the cakes came out dense, too dry for my taste and tasted too much like sugar cookies. The buttercream frosting didn't turn out at all as I had hoped. Despite the fact that I mixed it for the amount of time as directed, it turned out runny and the ingredients separated as it sat on top of the cupcakes. Bummer. I will be going back to my Perfect Vanilla Cupcakes by Glorious Treats.

    These cupcakes are just okay. They were overflowing when they came out causing the tops to be overdone so I would suggest putting a little less batter in the cups. They tasted like sugar cookies which I didn't like but other people seemed to enjoy them. I added a little heavy cream to the frosting to make it lighter.

    I made the cupcakes as written in the recipe and I watched the video, premixing the eggs with milk etc and alternating the dry mix with the egg mix. This cupcake tasted too much like an egg-y cake. I use farm fresh eggs, not store bought factory farmed. Although the batter was easy to make and work with, the taste of the final product was not great. I think 4 eggs is too many, but I don't think I will waste my time tinkering with this.

    Followed this recipe exactly as written and the cupcakes were delicious! Very close to the real Magnolia cupcakes- totally hit the spot.
