Hi Charlie! Yes, you can use any of my cake recipes for cupcakes (buttercream as well!). Here’s how to make my cake recipes as cupcakes: https://sugarandsparrow.com/convert-cake-recipes-to-cupcakes/

Hi Denise! I’ve never made a Barbie cake before (sounds fun!) so I’m not entirely sure but if I had to estimate I would say that two batches of vanilla buttercream should be enough to cover both the 7″ dress portion and the 10″ cake portion. If you’re filling the cakes with the buttercream as well, you’ll need one more additional batch. Hope that helps!

I want to completely cover both with rosettes. Dress is one color, base another color.
How many batches of your vanilla buttercream will I need?

One question, can I use any basic cake recipe for cupcakes. I’m interested in the Black cake and buttercream ones?

Hi Tambi! It’s based on a 6 to 8 inch cake. I’ll add that to the chart!

Hi Terri! Yes, the “total” column of the chart includes filling and crumb coat + final coat of frosting. Hope it helps!

I’m using your guide to fill and frost a wedding cake . Does this chart account for the filling as well as the outside of the cake ? Sorry if I missed that part.

Hi there! According to the chart in this post, you’ll need to make about 7x any of my buttercream recipes for 100 cupcakes. In other words, you’ll need to multiply each ingredient by 7. Hope that helps!
