Subject: Cupcake theory
Cupcakes made with oil are moister than cupcakes made with butter. But does
a less moist cupcake make one savor the frosting more? Kind of like drinking
a coke after exercising?

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).
