Very, very nice ~ Loved the taste! And now I'm wondering how they'd taste if I diced a bit of dried/candied papaya & added that! Thanks for sharing your great recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]

YummmooooO! You did good with this delicate cupcake. I read the ingredients and thought it would be heavy, but I was wrong these are light very fruity sweet and just yummy good. I did garnish with fresh papaya and dried banana slices. Oh OK I may be a bit prejudice being Sam`s Mom but these are truly Delish. Love you Babe! I hope many more great recipes.
