"These are bakery quality cupcakes and in order to achieve those results make certain that the butter and shortening are very soft but not melted, eggs at room temperature and warm the light cream or milk just enough to take the chill off, the directions differ slightly from the regular mixing method for this the sugars are added in after the eggs This recipe yields a large amount of cupcakes but they freeze well"
