Comments
These are more like muffins then cupcakes. maybe it was user error im not quite sure. I have never worked with mascarpone cheese before but they didnt raise very well and still tasted almost floury and i did each batch at different times trying to figure out the best. i have yet to make the frosting but hoping for the best.....
Hopefully these cupcakes turned out good in the end!
looking at mine in the oven now, they seemed to have risen nicely, the frosting came out delicious! Can't wait to try ....
