I think I am going to make these for a birthday party with Reese’s Cups baked in the middle, and sub. the coffee for root-beer. The cupcakes look beautiful, thanks for the inspiration.

WOW!!! (insert me with a HUGE smile on my face.) i seen this recipe and had very high hopes after reading your comments on it and looking it over carefully… and WOW, my hopes we surpassed by far! this has to be the best from scratch cake recipe i have ever made. just as you said above, it is perfectly moist and fluffy and soft as a boxed cake would be, but in my opinion, BETTER! everything about this cupcake is perfection! i had a house full of people when i tested the recipe out and nothing but great comments came out of their mouths. they said it was the best cupcake they have had that ive baked, one said it was a party in their mouth, and another claimed it was the best cupcake they had ever had in their life! i am so excited to have found this recipe! thank you so much for posting it!!! it is greatly appreciated. (insert me still smiling!)

Ferret — Thanks so much for the heads up! The sugar gets mixed in with the rest of the dry ingredients. I fixed the directions in the recipe above. Thanks again! So glad you liked them!

Hey, I just made these today and they are absolutely fantastic! I tried to make up for using water instead of coffee by added a hint of chocolate syrup.. hee hee. One thing I noticed, though, was in the directions for making the cupcakes you didn’t mention when to put the sugar in. I figured it out, but I just thought I would let you know! :]

I LOVE the piping technique you used for the frosting. Elegant and fun at the same time. Can’t wait to try these!

Caitlin — Thanks so much! I’m very happy to finally remove my head from a stack of law books and get back to cooking/baking/blogging. Isn’t in a shame when our real life obligations get in the way of the fun stuff?

Meg — Piping is so much easier than people think! I know it looks intimidating but it just takes a little patience. I use a pretty cheap decorating kit that I’ve had for years. Plastic tips, even (you can pick a couple tips and a pastry bag up at most grocery stores in the baking aisle). It’s far from great or even close to professional quality. One of these days I’m hoping to upgrade to a more sophisticated kit. This pattern resulted from a small star tip and a circular, small loop movement. Good luck with your “special” cake!! Sounds devious!!
