I made these this afternoon. They are really good. After I got started I realized I only had 6 cupcake papers so I made those and then a small 8 inch cake. I haven't tried the cake, yet, but the cupcakes are great. Next time, I don't think I'll frost them. The frosting is EXCELLENT, but the cakes were fine on their own and it would be less sugar in my little guys' systems, lol.
