Hi I just had a question about this recipe. In the beginning it says you need 1 dozen vanilla cupcakes but in the recipe you provide to make your own it makes 2 dozen. Does that mean that the recipe for the filling and icing is enough for just 1 dozen cupcakes or 2? Thanks!

I just made these for a baby shower, the frosting does not work. I followed the recipe exactly as written, at 5 cups of powdered sugar I had something the consistency of a glaze, because I needed to be at the party in 45 minutes I just kept adding sugar, after 2 lbs it still wasn’t frosting, it was incredibly runny & didn’t taste like anything other than powdered sugar $5.99 worth of mascarpone $2 worth of powdered sugar, plus butter strawberries & jam in the garbage =( Thank goodness I had some cream in the fridge, ended up whipping that and piping it on top.

@Rachel How did they turn out with the yellow mix? I wanna make 50 of these for a wedding. Did the frosting hold well during the event?

Making these for my sister in law’s shower tomorrow bc I showed the recipe to her, and she wanted these over a cake. I’ve made 50 cupcakes right now, so I will be doing the frosting and gelee in the morning. I’ve already goofed though I bought yellow cupcakes instead of the vanilla ones. Oh well. I’m sure they’ll still taste amazing

I am making these cupcakes for my daughter’s first birthday tomorrow. I doubled the frosting recipe and something is amiss. The frosting looks grainy and it is incredibly runny and I used 10 cups powdered sugar. It is WAY too sweet to serve now. Any thoughts on what went wrong? I’ll try it again tomorrow with some tips…

I made these this evening and I also had issues with the frosting. EXTREMELY runny. I stopped at eight cups of powdered sugar and have resorted to sticking the bowl of frosting in the freezer to see if I can “stiffen” it up to be able to pipe it on the cupcakes. Hopefully I can get them done. I want them to work so badly!

Hmmm. I would recommend adding more powdered sugar. If the frosting gets too sweet, you could also add more mascarpone or plain cream cheese to thicken it up.

I just made this frosting and it is very runny. Is there a way to make it more ‘frosting-like’ so I can pipe it onto the cupcakes.
