Nice way to make your family eat their vegetables ;) I didn't put the glaze though... no time, I shouldn't be baking it's exam time. And I tried out the electric mixer Deeps gave me...

And I think, as you said, a frosting would have brightened up this cake. The glaze kind of dulled it down a little more...

I like to use a classic cream cheese frosting on my cupcakes. On my recipe, just make sure you bake it all the way through or it will sink a bit in the middle. I think in general these cakes are a little on the denser side. I can't wait to see your next attempt.<br />-Gina-Ginawhatsfordinnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216141189238120850.post-73590467394430951252011-04-23T22:27:44.394-04:002011-04-23T22:27:44.394-04:00you are so right!

And they stay cute, unlike the Zucchini cake that tends to turn greyish after a while.
