Looks like fondant to me. Where did you find the pic?

They look yummy. I could really go for a cupcake now!
I have been on a diet for 2 months (plus have not had a cigarette for 58 days). I have resisted temptation to bake myself a cake or cupcakes but there is a triple chocolate fudge cake mix sitting on my counter now. I keep telling myself to bake it for the grandkids tomorrow, knowing it is me that is dying for a piece of chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing. I've lost 19 pounds so I hate to give in........... 
That little devil 
on my shoulder keeps telling me to do it..........

Thanks ladies! That's really quick of you to reply!
I have a feeling it's fondant too. Hmm, have never tried making a cupcake with fondant icing. Will give it a shot soon! But I suspect there's something wrong wif my oven bcoz my cupcakes always come out loopsided. In this case, I do have to carve the top rite?
pastryjen --> hey, that's a good idea! Maybe I should try that method of dipping instead of the usual!
Diane --> wow 19 pounds! Good for you! Hey but you know, what. Go ahead and bake the choc cake and give yourself a treat. A slice will do!
Hey Diane, I think I found those 19 pounds you lost. Where should I put them, I'd kind of like to lose them, too!!
Great job on the weight loss and no more smoking, too!
Looks like fondant. I put BC on my cupcakes then use the VIVA method to smooth them out. I think royal icing might be a little too hard, just MHO.

WHATEVER YOU DO...............Don't send them back to me! 
I could get really mean about that!
In all seriousness, 5 years ago I found out that I had COPD and have been in the hospital more times than I want to count. Have had my left lung operated on and ended up on disability. I have taken steroids galore. If you have ever had any dealings with prednizone then you know how it affects you. I gained 80 pounds. I also quit smoking for 13 months and started back. After the last trip to the hospital I had three doctors lecture me and threaten me if I didn't quit again. My main doctor also put me on a low calorie regimen while I was in the hospital. I have tried to stick with it since I have been out. So.....along with trying to quit smoking, I am trying to lose weight. The two don't go hand-in-hand very well.
Sorry for stealing the thread..........I just got carried away!
