Almond Cupcakes

My name is Karen & I love to eat......I also really like to cook. So here goes, this is what happens when the two come together in the kitchen, the good, bad & ugly. Hopefully mostly good. I get these ideas and then try to create them, then the fun part I get to eat them. This is my first adventure Almond Cupcakes.
They came out really well, very moist and a nice almond flavor. I do need to work on my frosting technique though but for taste my 1st success!!!
