Wow. These cupcakes are fantastic! Moist and buttery and super light! I was looking for a basic cupcake and they seemed easy enough. I had some leftover frosting to use up, but I will tell you that I ate them plain. They are that delicious!

These definitely took some extra work, but I overheard some of my guests saying they were going to try to bring some home in their purses, so they must have been a hit. Delicious!

The pudding was absolutely delicious! But my cupcakes sank :(

gramofash---it's reg. sugar. The gold dust can be found at any local cake supplier or just google "gold luster dust". Hope that helps

Does ayone know where the gold dust came from. I heard New York something? Thanks

The cupcake holders are found here in USA so that will save postage. Just type in confectionery/house and there they are after you click on cup cake holders. The colors are outstanding. I hope this helps someone.. Suzanne

Since I read comments that it was too sweet, I decided to forgo the pudding all together and it's good. Love the buttercream and will try to use this cupcake recipe to make an actual cake for a party.

What gives? Some of the measurements for the pudding are different on the show vs. here. Does anyone know the right measurements for the cornstarch and the butter? Thanks!

much better the next day! still I find the cake only so so but I'm much happier. Honestly I'd think you'd be fine making a good yellow box cake with the pudding and the frosting you can't tell the difference! I'm not usually a semi-homemade person but..... a dozen eggs and a lot of time for a so so cake

I'm a little disappointed. I love the pudding and will make again. The cake is only so so. Very moist but nothing special. I made the frosting and it is just too sweet for me and I don't think it works well with the pudding. I'll taste one later after they sit in the fridge for awhile since often the 1st taste after baking is never good to me, the baker. It was a lot of work for an ok/good.
