These cupcakes were wonderful. I made these for St. Patricks Day. The buttercream was the perfect amount of sweet to compliment the cupcakes. I added lucky charms marshmellows on the top as an added garnish. I will definatly make these again and I know that I wont be able to wait until next March 17th.

I don't think the proportions were quite right with this one. I had a lot of leftover cream and mint mixture. The cupcakes were alright, but the frosting was terrible. It tasted like minty butter. It made way too much for a dozen cupcakes.

This recipe was great overall. When I first added the eggs to the butter and sugar it looked weird and I thought, "I hope I did everything right." But as I went along, it turned out normal. The frosting, even after I put in the cream and powdered sugar didn't have much flavor so I added about 5-6 drops of peppermint oil, and that did the trick. This recipe is DIVINE!

I thought this was time consuming to make and was not very good.

Just made these and they were a hit! The cake was a bit dense for my liking, but very moist. Also, I didn't get a lot of the chocolate mint flavor...mainly just the general cake taste and the buttercream. My store didn't have the Ghiradelli type, so I used Andes creme de menthe instead and used same amount so there should have been a similar effect. Buttercream was delicious, very light and refreshing. I cooked the cream with whole springs of mint like I saw Donnelly do on the show, but I did not get enough mint flavor. I chopped up a couple leaves and continued cooking and that worked perfectly once strained. As a garnish, I grated a couple of Andes on top and that added that chocolate/mint I was missing in the cake. All in all I will use this recipe again!
