No. But, all cake is good, and all frosting is better.

I don't like frosting on cupcakes if the top is done to a nice crustiness.
I'll take butter over oil.

I like butter on muffins, like corn muffins or blueberry muffins.

I found an awesome recipe for cake decorator icing on the Internet. But
strangely it seems that I only notice the difference with other frostings
when comparing them side by side. If most people pick up a cupcake they're
not too concerned about the quality of the frosting.

I disagree. I think a lot of people eat the cupcake JUST for the sugar
rush of the frosting.
I am not one of them, but I know too many that do seem to prefer the
frosting most.
What is particularly special about this recipe for decorator icing? Can
you post the recipe?

I pick off the bottom, saving the frosting for last. Not for a rush,
but because I like frosting, it tastes good and I like the texture.

I don't like cake unless it's very moist (not wet, like tiramisu --
moist), and I don't like frosting at all, so I wouldn't know. Seems to
me to be a silly theory, though. :-)

The supermarket bakery will prove you true. They have cupcakes with huge
gobs of sugar frosting on top and people buy them up. To me they look
disgusting, but they sure sell.

I've never been able to tolerate "bakery" icing.

I have never liked cupcakes, even as a child. Doesn't matter what they're
made of.

It's my personal favorite. I only use 3/4 of the sugar (1.5 lbs).

Likewise with muffins - I save the crusty top for last. Bristol Farms
has some *killer* muffin tops which means I can eat two muffin tops
for the caloric price of one muffin!

Worse yet, they often have freaky artificial to the extreme colors in
the whipped crisco frosting. Bleech! The only flavor is "sweet"...not
buttery or vanilla or anything BUT sweet.

You can buy "muffin top" baking pans so that all your muffins will be tops
only.

Coincidentally, Ron made a batch of cupcakes for me yesterday.
He made something I'm pretty sure he called bakery frosting.
I guess he got it from the America's Test Kitchen cookbook.

I'm not suggesting that is what you're talking about, just the name
amused me. I gather it involves butter and heavy cream. Light
and tasty. Of course, he sprinkled coconut on half of them
because he likes that.

Perhaps if we built a large wooden mallard...

Wait. Mallet? Well, that's completely different. Never mind.

I was raised on the Hostess chocolate cupcakes with the "cream" filling
with the white swirls across the top.

Since residing in Philadelphia, I'm partial to Tastykake's butterscotch
krimpets. Simple melt in your mouth goodness!

Would I dare a cupcake of my own? Never!!!

There's a local bakery near me that makes homemade Hostess chocolate
cupcakes, and another one that makes homemade twinkies.

I'll have to try some. Butterscotch is underrated.

Have you tried aebleskivers (round pancakes)?

They're nothing special, just round Danish pancakes. It's the latest fad.
Some people fill them with custard. Here's some pictures if you're
interested:

Pooh,

I'm torn between pancakes and popovers from those images. I'm leaning
towards really fluffed up pancakes.

Butter? Syrup?

Either/neither way, I'm OK

Aebleskivers look great, but they're only as good as the pancake batter and
the filling you use. They need to be turned with skewers. If you add too
much filling it oozes out, but sometimes that's a good thing.

Ackshully, I have a cast iron aebelskiver pan and use tongs to turn
them, with a little nudge from a small spatula:

Aebleskiver (Danish Ball Pancakes)

4 separated eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups buttermilk [or 3/4 C beer plus 1 1/4 C milk]
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups all purpose flour
oil or lard

Beat egg whites until stiff; set aside. Beat rest of ingredients until
batter is very smooth. Fold in egg whites. Heat [at a moderate
temperature] a well-seasoned monk's pan (see tip below) with 1/8
teaspoon oil or lard in each of the 7 holes. Fill each hole [about
three-quarters full] with batter. [Be sure to add a few drops of oil
to each well in the pan before the next round of batter.]
When browned on one side (almost right away), turn with knitting
needle [or two-tined fork] and keep turning until needle comes out
clean after piercing through the cake. [We find that you need to turn
these only once.]

Serve with flavored butters, such as maple or cinnamon honey, syrup,
jam and brown or white sugar. As for servings, plan on each person
eating 7-10 cakes. Makes approximately 48 pancakes.
