"My favorite chocolate cupcake." - April Ferre

"These are the chocolate cupcakes my Mom would make when we were growing up.  The 'Chocolate Fudge Glaze' from this recipe is particularly good.  Cupcakes are good, but frosting is even better." - Calla Ferre

"Maxine was my next door neighbor while we were living in our first home on Elm Street in Salem, Oregon.  She would bring her son, Bobby, over to play with my son, Scott, in the sandbox and we would talk and exchange recipes.  She brought these cupcakes over one day, and I told her that if she wanted to come over again the next day that she better bring that recipe with her!" - Jean Hansen
