Ingredients

    4 eggs
    1 cup sugar
    2 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
    3/4 cup vegetable oil
    1 cup vanilla soy milk
    2 tsp vanilla extract

    Flower fondant cutter
    Small circle fondant cutter
    2" circle or flower fondant cutter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Mix eggs and sugar until thick, about 1 minute (no longer). Add remaining ingredients mixing until smooth.

Bake in lined cupcake pans for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in middle of a cupcake comes out clean.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, roll out the fondant and cut out 24 yellow flowers, 24 brown circles, and 24 white circles. Place the white circles on the cupcake, then top with the yellow flower and the brown circles.

    So, what is "light" about these cupcakes? 3/4 cup of vegetable oil (60 cals per tiny cupcake) and 70 cals of fondant per cupcake does not equal "light" !! Regular milk would make more tender cupcakes without so much oil, and it would be more nutritious. - 4/1/14

    Wow - Eliminate the frosting and the candy coated eggs from the original version and market it as slimmed down. This is why I don't make spark recipes. Crap. - 4/1/14

    do believe I can cut calories down more by replacing sugar with Splenda and the oil down to applesauce unsweetened, will give this recipe a try doing it my way. I just cant see where this one is slimmed down that is a fourth of my days goals in calories. - 4/8/14

    I would replace the sugar with Splenda. I'm going to see if using two eggs whites with two whole eggs would work to cut down on the cholesterol. I'd like to try experimenting, using almond milk instead of soy, but I'm not sure if that would work? - 4/1/14
