Thank you so much! I love these with coffee and I've always wondered what that topping was made of. Now I know!

Your recipes always remind me of my abuelita. I haven’t seen her because of coronavirus but your recipes make it seem like we’re not so far apart. Thank you!

I saw your TikTok of these cupcakes. So I looked to see if you had a YouTube channel, and you did. So I follow you on both now. But I’m so glad you did this on YouTube to see the step by step. Great recipes 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤤🤤

I liked the way you made a thick concha crust!

[melissaflores]

My husband loves conchas! Dios mío he is going to be so excited!

[benjaminseratos]

Thank you for sharing I’m going to make with my kids .

[vikitoreea]

Lol you are too cute! Such good recipes! ♥️👍🏼

[sarahs]

Can I use this recipe for regular conchas?

[lillianlopez]

Instead of zest could I add cinnamon? If so how much would you recommend ?

[lizettemiramontes]

Sra. Ana do you have to use the orange zest? Can you use lime zest instead?

[maryhernandez]

At the end before tasting, why did you remove part of center? Was it slightly raw?

[Beejazzz]

Hi, can I make these with whole wheat flour?? if you could please answer because i want to make them today

[yessicamorales]

For the topping, what’s the difference in using unsalted butter and using shortening? I see some people use butter and some use shortening.

[sharadumo]

Hi 🙂 .. can i use lemon zest instead of orange zest?

[Urprobablymad]

Is it normal for them to get hard? Or dense once they’re cold? They’re not fluffy like a regular concha.. What am I doing wrong

[aleediaz]

Can we substitute with vegetable shortening?

[Barcachic]

Hi! I tried making them and the concha came out delicious but the topping came off completely. I also baked it for 15 minutes and the topping was hard. Then concha cupcake itself was perfect.

What could I do to keep the topping on the cupcake?

[MsPwety]

I’ve tried to make them and they come out tasting great but all of the topping cracks completely off. Should it be thicker when I place it on top?

[AliciaBoo]

I accidentally bought active yeast, how would I change that?
