  1. These were delicious, the frosting especially! Quick and yet a special treat.
     
  2. I was so happy to find this recipe! I usually bake from scratch, but this is so good, ( I've made it many times). I had lost my copy, and so I was thrilled to find it. Thanks! The only thing I do dirrerently is that I put raspberry preserves in the center of the cupcake, after they are baked.
     
  3. Oh my lucky stars! These are so good! The only change was the egg whites. I chose to do 3 eggs instead. Everyone loved them. They were disappointed I didn't make more. :) Made for the September 2008 Aussie/NZ recipe swap.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
