Hands down, the best cupcakes ever. Perfect consistency, perfectly moist, perfectly puffed little tops. Just perfect. I think the secret is the egg whites…

I made these cupcakes for my son’s birthday, and they were so good. I separated the batter into six bowls so I could make rainbow colored cupcakes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28703068@N00/4301214701/in/photostream/

These are delicious. I made them for my husband, and taste-wise, they were some of the best cupcakes I’d ever had. They baked up pretty funky – I need to figure out some adjustments for the altitude here in Colorado. I’m sure if I made them closer to sea level they’d have looked as pretty as they tasted though.
