I watched the video on Martha Stewart's website and they did poke the cupcakes with a fork before brushing on the coffee, even though not stated in recipe. I used vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean. I thought they could have had a bit stronger coffee taste, but I made them them the day before and just prepared the frosting the day of the coffee would have been a bit stronger. However, they were a hugh success and would definitely make them again. Made these cupcakes for a new year’s day open house and they were a hugh success.

They look very good. I’m glad you reviewed them because I wanted to bake them but now don’t know if it’s worth the trouble.

Well, I sort of made them. I also thought the cake part was way too complicated, so I used a basic 1-2-3-4 cake recipe which is super simple (Paula Deen has one on footnetwork). My only alts were halving the recipe and adding the vanilla bean. SO good. I also thought that they would have been better if I'd poked the tops of the cakes before brushing on the coffee. Hardly any seeped in, and from Martha's pic, you'd think they'd be soaking. Not so much. The frosting wad SO good. Mine was not as pretty as yours, though. It wasn't smooth. Gotta work on that. Try the simpler and easier cake recipe and I think you'll like them a whole lot better. I thought they were delicious. Sorry for the long winded comment - just wanted to pass along what I learned. :) I made these this weekend after seeing your tweet. :) . Well, I sort of made them.
