Ah, PJ, that's an interesting observation of them peaking when you bake without cupcake papers. I baked them in a single layer of el cheapo supermarket cupcake paper, which I'm sure aren't as heavy as your cupcake papers. I bet that contributed to my peaks (not that they weren't very tasty and well received anyway--and you couldn't really tell about the peaks once the frosting was on). Baking is a never-ending process of discovery... If you're at all curious, the fun just never ends! Glad the frosting "tamed" those peaks... PJH
