Jess I left you a comment. Your cuppies look so good. Sorry you didn't enjoy the icing. I love cream cheese so this recipe was my fav so far. 
You guys need to go check out Jess's rainbow cuppies!!! They're awesome!!!! 
Wanted to share feedback from my "cupcake debut" at parent's night - Everyone LOVED the lemon cupcakes. I ended up using SMBC to frost them with, since it was really warm here, and I didn't want the cream cheese melting off of them. I posted a pic in my photos since I can't figure out how to post one directly into this message. (can anyone tell me how for future?)
Thanks
Those are so pretty!! How did you make that color choice? I love it!
Beautiful cuppies Sweetdreams. I love the flowers are they fondant and which recipe do you use? If you don't mind me asking.

Thanks everyone 
Michelle104 - I found some paper I really liked to put on my cupcake stand, and used the colors from that. I LOVE printed paper and fabrics, so they naturally make it into my cookie, and now cupcake designs! Meemawfish - This was my first stab at fondant. I originally bought some premade Wilton fondant - and I have to say, it tasted disgusting. I got some guidance from some other CC'ers, and ended up making MMF. I used the recipe from this site -http://whatscookingamerica.net/PegW/Fondant.htm
One thing to note is that marshmallows used to be sold in 16 oz. bags, but I noticed that they are down to 10.5 oz now!! So I adjusted the recipe (with my husband's mathematical help
Thanks for the info SweetDreams. I am going to try my hand at modeling a figure of a lady in a swimming pool for my sister's 50th birthday cake. I was planning on trying MMF or either Michelle Fosters. I will let ya'll know how it turns out.
Meemawfish, Michelle104 & frstech: ty so much for your kind words about my rainbow cc's. im glad you liked them, they were so much fun to make!
Your very welcome Jess.
Sweetdreams I made the MMF today and I think it turned out good. I am going to start modeling or trying tomorrow so wish me luck. 
Great Meemawfish!! I can't wait to see the results!
Here I thought I was being so observant!! I was at the grocery store today and decided to buy an extra bag of marshmallows to have on hand for the next time I want to make MMF... and I noticed that the minis come in 2 sizes. 16 oz and 10.5 oz... So, disregard what I said before (quoted below). I think I'm just paranoid because of how ice cream packaging keeps getting smaller. Sorry!

I just finished my lemon cuppies and they are divine! Just a little lemon flavor (it definitely tasted natural, not artificial thanks to using the lemon juice) and the cream cheese frosting is fabulous!! I wish the icing was not as runny, but it still holds up. I filled them up halfway with the first dozen and they didn't rise well like everyone else mentioned. So I filled them up more in the next batch (got only 1/2 dozen) and they filled to the top of the liner. This is definitely a keeper after my disaster with the carrot cuppies

Can't wait for the next one!
That's great Jenmack. I love the lemon and I'm waiting on #3 also.
Okay is anybody else having the problem of NO email notices on this thread?? It's driving me crazy!
Im still getting my notices,But with that said Im sure they will stop now LOL!
I'm still getting notices but I think it's because you only get notices on the ones that you post on.
Ok y'all, sorry I didn't post on Friday like I had intended. I'm in the middle of a severe kidney stone attack. Almost ran off the road friday and have been 'medicated' ever since! Ugh. Anyway, here is the link to the new thread. I hope you guys like it. This whole process has been a ton of fun. What a great 'club'!

I finally got to make the lemon cuppies this weekend!! They were delish!! The only thing was that they were dry, but I think I may have cooked them too long, but everyone loved the flavor and the icing!! I will be making these again with absolutley no changes to the recipe!!
I have a quick question... are we only doing cupcakes in the CCCC or are we interested in muffins? I have this new book... it's called 500 Cupcakes, and it has a whole section on muffins, both sweet and savory!
I bought that book a couple of weeks ago, too!! I love some of the twists on cupcakes/muffins!
I haven't had time for the lemon cuppies yet. Hopefully this weekend. Between going back to school and working 12 hours a day, the days just fly by.
Everyone loved the carrot cake cuppies. Definately try them if anyone hasn't!
I am so excited to try this one! It sounds delicious! Thank you so much. I have never tried cupcakes too much but I am super excited to try these and experiment.
Here we go again, Hurricane Ike. I am about 2 and a half hours due north of Houston. I am praying for all of us to make it through safe!!!
If I still have electricity, I am baking this weekend. I want to have cake to eat during all of this chaos!
Let ya'll know how we do. I would love to know about everyone in his path, too.

I'm planning on baking too! I have eggs and milk in my fridge that will go to waste if the electricity goes out. Might as well put it to good use!!
I will pray for all you ladies. Please be safe.
