Me and the kids decided to make some cupcake from the quit plan book just yesterday.  I made up this butter icing to put on some and the chocolate glaze to put on others.  I took some into work and everyone loved them!  If you want chocolate cupcakes, just add some cocoa and a little extra milk.

1 cup dextrose

2 tablespoons butter

vanilla

milk

Mix the dextrose and the butter with a spoon, until mixed.  Add vanilla and enough milk to make a smooth paste, beat well and then spread on cakes.  The butter icing will set in the fridge and will have to be put in the fridge straight away.  Or keep cake out and make icing before hand and put in fridge.  Just add a little more milk to get a nice spreadable consistancy.
