For Christmas, my mom made the most amazing red velvet cake. So, I took the recipe she used (from Cook's Illustrated), and made them into cupcakes. While they tasted delicious, they looked horrible. They didn't raise for some reason, and were completely flat on top. A couple were even a little sunken in. Luckily I'm a frosting lover, so I just swirled on a ton of cream cheese frosting, and no one noticed, or if they noticed, they were all too polite to say anything about it. I even checked my baking soda and made sure it wasn't expired.
All of the comments I received about the cupcakes were positive, but the real affirmation came when people went back for a second (or third, or fourth) cupcake.
