I've made these twice now. While I love the cupcakes, I can't seem to to develop a taste for the frosting. The first time I made them I followed the directions, the 2nd time I put less sour cream in the frosting recipe. It didn't help much. And I like sour cream, so thats not the reason for me not liking the frosting. So I would give the cake a 5 and the frosting a 2.

These turn out much better than the box directions. They actual rise!! Can't say much about the taste. (Haven't eaten them.) I only make these for my daughter's class, but everyone loves them... (guess I'll change my rating from a 3 to a 4)

SO SO SO GOOD! Easy too. I'll do this one again and again. The frosting is rich, but yummy.
