T agree with some reviewers that the frosting is way too sweet. The other thing I notice is that the brown sugar never fully dissolved. so the frosting wasn’t as creamy as I am used to. It stayed a little grainy. Otherwise, wonderful flavors.

Hi! I made these cupcakes back in 2016, and I took a screenshot so I wouldn’t forget the recipe. At that time you were making them with only cake mix and butterscotch soda. I really love that recipe! Do you still have that recipe saved anywhere?

Wonderfully delicious cupcakes but like some other reviewers, I overfilled mine and didn’t let the soda go flat before adding. Next time I’m filling the cupcakes half full and letting the soda go flat. Not too pretty but my kids went nuts over these. Thanks, domestic rebel!

In reply to Wanetha. Yes! The cupcakes may sink because of the soda in the recipe, but have no fear! You can absolutely use frosting to cover up the small indent on the top. And yes, they can be frosted ahead of time! If your house is warm, just keep them in the fridge covered!

These cupcakes are waaay too sweet and one note. I have a huge sweet tooth, but these were over the top.

In reply to Michelle. Hi Michelle, no, cook and serve will not yield the same result. It gives the cupcakes a strange texture. You can omit the pudding mixture from the cupcakes and it should be okay.

I can’t find instant pudding anywhere. Can I use the cook and serve instead??

In reply to Amanda. It's just what the box cake mix calls for.. If you wanted to use butter instead, I would suggest looking for a yellow box cake mix that calls for butter instead of oil.

In reply to Crystal. I’m a few years late but I just made these yesterday and for the frosting, I took a tablespoon of the butter and melted it in a saucepan and added the brown sugar and then realized it was a bit thick so poured maybe a tablespoon of water in and stirred until smooth. I then added that syrup to the butter in my mixer and followed the rest of the recipe
