  1. My DH took these to a charity bake sale. They went right away, and one of the teachers asked if I could make more for her to give to her students. I will be making them this weekend for 30 kids! Thanks Saturn! Get the feeling I'll be making these often! Made for 2009 Fall PAC
     
  2. When I was a kid, my grandfather used to bring my brother and I black and white cupcakes from Lord's Bakery in Brooklyn. I was looking for a recipe to duplicate them and these are almost dead on! They bring back alot of great memories which I hope to pass along to my children, thank you for bringing back a piece of my childhood!
     
  3. This is a wonderful recipe for cupcakes - the first I have ever made from scratch!! Everyone commented on the great taste and the presentation. The icings look wonderful side by side. Next time, I may add some additional lite corn syrup to the choc icing mix, as it was a little bitter for my taste (this may have been because I used semi-sweet choc baking squares??) but next to the sweetness of the white, it was a great combo. Thanks Mean Chef!!!
