So, my son has been asking for cupcakes for his birthday (he turns 3 at the end of Sept.). I decided I'd try this recipe out, but I was really bummed out by the "frosting" which turned out more like icing. I followed every step, and measured everything exactly, but the frosting was flat.

I sell these at the Farmer's Market and they are the most popular. Once people try them, the LOVE them. I have been requested to bring them every week.
