Dss were craving for some cupcakes. I did a batch of Vanilla Honey Cupcakes (Nat's recipe, my forum pal from m4m) and go easy and simple with the frosting. I cut down alot on the icing sugar as I was afraid it's really too sweet for my kids. In fact, I didn't measure the butter and icing sugar, just agaration, so you can see it didn't hold the shape very well. Nevertheless, the cakes are really nice, soft and light and the frosting didn't taste too sweet and it was well received by everyone. Yippee!

hi, acme across from ... dunno which blog. you have lots of cupcakes.
was wondering is this recipe very sweet? those cupcakes on sales in the mall or some cafe too sweet to my liking. i m thinking to bake myself for those reduced sweet type.
I think the other kind of "cup cake" referred to a cake whose ingredients were measured by volume, using a standard-sized cup, instead of being weighed.
