If I was coming, yellow mini-cupcakes would be better, but I'm not, so you must deal with the people you're actually feeding. I know that lots of people love white cake, and the cider buttercream certainly sounds like it'd be a great twist.

tanac's apple cider caramels arrived here this week. NOMNOMNOM. Recommended to all who are interested (http://www.sugarpunkdesserts.com/).
