Hi all!  I’ve forayed into cupcakes and cookies recently but am still a little lost.

what is the best recipe to use for cupcakes?  I would prefer an all or at least half butter based one.  

Thanks for your suggestions!!!

In my opinion you can't get much better than this:  https://www.cakecentral.com/recipe/22469/2-icing

Thanks!  

Im looking at sweetex and holy hell is it expensive!  I have seen some bc recipes that use all butter and meringue powder....does the meringue stabilize it??

I'm a fan of SMBC for pretty much everything   :)

Meringue powder does little if anything to stableize b'creams.   What makes a b'cream 'crust' or not is the amount of sugar vs. 'fat'.   If you read through the recipe I posted (link above) you will find a version for 'soft' and 'crusting' b'creams.
