Nice cupcakes! They are lovely & moist, with the marmelade taste coming through nicely. I frosted them with a cream cheese frosting to which I added some marmelade too. Thanks! -
These were so fast and easy to prepare!! Used low-fat marmalade and milk. Used recipe #16017 as frosting. Thanks MicDoc! :) -
MicDoc these are wonderful little cupcakes. Like rhondalynne I put cream cheese frosting on mine and they combination was scrumptious. My husband doesnt like fruit, orange being no exception but he really liked these and his rating was 4 stars. But as I thought they were 5, I'm giving them 5 stars. I'll definately make these again. -
I absolutely loved these! Smooth flavor, fantastic with cream cheese frosting! -
In my opinion, this comes pretty close to being the perfect cupcake. Buttery, moist, not too sweet, with little flecks of orange rind...delicious. I haven't frosted them yet (they're so good on their own!), but I'll probably make a cream cheese frosting and add a little marmalade. Thank you so much for sharing!!
