CUPCAKE FAIL

Well... I tried to make a new recipe this weekend. When I make the Paleo Brownies they get pretty good reviews, so I attempted a cupcake and frosting recipe. I am going to keep the recipe to myself for the protection of the book I got it out of. This totally could have been a "baker's error" but they didnt come out good at all.

The cupcakes themselves looked ok when they came out of the oven, but as I was making the frosting I was not very happy with the flavor, kept adding and adding coco powder and maple syrup to sweeten it up... after dinner I tasted one. At that point I was going to toss them all, but was convinced by my friends to leave them out for other people to try...

The cake part was really dry, really dense and just totally flavorless.The frosting was "interesting" to say the least. I put off a good front that it was going to be a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting... but no, not even close!

I think by far this was the BEST reaction. Just goes to show you that is ok... not every recipe is going to be a success! This is my god child, she came outside after and said "Auntie, I didnt know you made those cupcakes for me... they werent very good..." Hahahaha!! I assured her that I didnt make them for her that they were an "experiment!!" I didnt think she would even try one!!
