Nice cupcakes. Liked the vanilla and almond flavoring together. Thanks for posting.

This is a great "dress up the cake mix" recipe. I chose it because it was quicker than starting from scratch and I needed that. However, the taste and texture are quite good and I would willingly use this recipe again. For easter I frosted it with a green tinted butter cream frosting with coconut added and jelly beans to decorate. They were fun and tasty.

I omitted the almond extract, but followed otherwise -- moist & yum!

I made these exactly as stated, and I did enjoy the hint of almond in the cake. I iced these pink with sprinkles for Valentine's day, and they are an absolute hit all the way around. Thank you for posting!

I used a boxed cake mix and left out the almond extract, come out just fine. I baked them in a mini muffin tin for tiny cupcakes. Frosted half white and half chocolate icing and sprinkled them with non perels. It was fun and made a pretty plate. Thanks for posting.
