    The only change I made was I added an extra teaspoon of Vanilla Extract to the cupcake batter. Other than that I followed the directions to the T (including how long to mix the batter and the cupcakes came out great! Everyone loved them and I will definitely be making these again.

    I liked the crunchy bits on the top but agree it was a bit dry inside.

    I'm about to make these cupcakes, and was wondering about how much baking powder to use since I don't have self-rising flour, which brings me to wonder if that's why the negative results from reviewers? Did they just use regular flour with no baking powder? Thanks in advance.

    i thought i would try to help sweet8284 by answering their question. this recipe has quite a bit of sugar which can give it a crispy top. there is not too much you can do but you could maybe try cooking them at 300 degrees F. it might make a difference but really that's the way they are supposed to turn out.

    I LOVE Magnolia Bakery Cupcakes, but I was only able to get them when I went to visit my sister in NYC (or, when she brought home a dozen for my bridal shower as a surprise!. Of course, nothing tastes as good when you have to make them yourself, but this recipe is AMAZING and almost as good as the real thing! : I can't wait for Magnolia Bakery to open up their shop in Chicago this month!!!!!!!!!

    Ok...question... I have made 4 batches of these cupcakes. They taste incredible BUT the tops are hard. Are they suppose to be hard? I follow the recipe just changed up techniques. Is there anything I can do to keep them from hardening? Trying to perfect them for a birthday party in 2 weeks so I need HELP!

    These taste exactly like the cupcakes at the real Magnolia Bakery. Amazing! For all of you who have commented before me and have said that they are gross and not what you expected, you must not be used to good food. These cupcakes were meant to be sweet and to be like they are. Maybe you all didn't cook them right. But I am just 14 and probably a much better chef than you. :

    These were awful!!! We love making cupcakes as a family and trying out new recipes. As a family, we agreed that we would have lost cupcake wars with this recipe. I can't believe this would be a bakery's number one requested cupcake???
