Tell us: Where do you go for your favorite cupcakes?
From the Los Angeles Times
i tried the chocolate cake and buttercream frosting recipes. The frosting was like eating butter. Possibly the recipe was missing ingredients? Or just not to my taste. I ended up adding about 4 cups of powdered sugar. After that it was heavenly. But lots of work! Good thing, I'm sure they're a million calories each.

For the best cupcakes in Texas, go to CAKE by Distinctive Details in Lubbock.
We went in to purchase 2 cupcakes and went away with 12 of the most wonderful tasting sweet things I have ever eaten! The red velvet was amazing, but the velvet Elvis was out of this world. If you live in Lubbock, head to Kingsgate Center for CAKE cupcakes.

To Cupcake lover from Australia -- you probably don't want to omit the corn syrup (essentially Lyle's Golden Syrup), since it is beneficial to the consistency. Corn syrup used at home is not the high-fructose corn syrup you may be thinking of. A stick of butter is 1/4 pound, or 4 oz., so about 115-120 grams. American butter comes in 4 sticks to the pound, although the shape of the stick will vary by geographic region!
