I made these last night and followed the directions to the t. They all sank. I live in high altitude could that be the reason why?

I made these today and they are DELICIOUS… Something went wrong with the colour though – they came out an ugly mossy green colour… But I will defenately make them again soon…

These were just okay. When I think of a Velvet cake, I think of a heavy, moist texture with a hint of cocoa. These were very light, and crusty on top. They really didn’t rise much. I think there’s too much mixing in this recipe as it’s written, and the batter ends up overbeaten. The frosting recipe made TONS–I’ve got lots of leftover frosting.

I have to first preface my remarks by stating that I am NOT good at baking…
I made these yesterday for my daughter’s 5th birthday party. The frosting was fantastic! I absolutely loved the frosting and will now try to make homemade cream cheese frosting for all of my cakes-it was that delicious.
I was however disappointed with the cupcakes. I didn’t think that they were very sweet, they seemed a little on the heavy side. I think that I must have over baked them because the tops were a little crunchy and the bottoms were extremely crumbly (not very good for a pool party). The tops didn’t puff up like normal cupcakes, which made them more difficult for me to frost.
My daughter was very excited about having blue cupcakes (it’s her favorite color). So in that respect it was a hit. Thank you for publishing a recipe for blue cupcakes, it saved me from having to go through the anguish of decorating a princess cake.

I made these for my niece’s birthday on the 4th of July and added red sprinkles. The cake was pretty tasty — not as sweet as some other cupcakes. The only issue was it was hard to tell when they were done (because of the color) and a few were overbaked with crunchy edges.

They were wonderfully blue!

The cream cheese icing was the BEST and so easy.

With the recipe set at 12 servings I was able to get 24 standard size cupcakes and 24 mini-cupcakes.

I’m not sure if it was the recipe or my oven but they did not hump like cupcakes usually do which made them incredibly easy to ice.

I made these for our Independence Day feast as Red Velvet, White cream cheese frosting ( piped with my biggest star tip), and Blue sprinkles. My Wilton holiday liners were on the petite side so I got 36 cupcakes. They taste wonderful! And are cute, too. Thanks for the recipe!

These are simply amazing! The texture is PERFECT! I used buttercream frosting because I had some left over from other cupcakes, but can’t wait to try the cream cheese frosting! Will definitely be making these again. So moist!! It made over 24 standard cupcakes!
