1. This recipe makes 12 cupcakes with 1/4 c (4 Tbsp) of the base batter for each. The measurement for each flavor variation is for 1 cupcake.
2. For peanut butter frosting: One tablespoon of peanut butter should flavor 4ozs/125g of buttercream frosting, but this depends on your taste. I suggest you taste as you go.
This amount should frost 4 cupcakes depending on how you use it.
