Frosting too much or too little

You may eat the cupcakes whatever you want since they are yours. However, you shouldn't start icing without a strategy if you're creating cupcakes to wow a crowd or are determined to uphold your culinary integrity. Let's first think about this: Is icing required? Technically, it's up to you, even if some people contend that a cupcake without icing is only a muffin.

If you decide to frost your cupcakes, be careful not to use too much or too little icing so that each bite has a pleasing amount of cake and frosting rather than a mouthful of frosting. For every 12 cupcakes you prepare, RecipeTips estimates that you'll need around one cup of frosting, or one to two teaspoons per cupcake. Although the amount of moisture in your cupcakes mostly relies on the ingredients you used and how you baked them, some bakers advise using icing as a seal to hold in moisture and prevent your cupcakes from being overly dry. To that end, make an effort to frost your cupcakes sufficiently and uniformly.
