Makes 3 1/2 dozen

Ingredients

4 1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
7 large egg whites, room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup water
1 pound cream cheese, room temperature
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
6 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup cherry preserves, strained, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the cupcakes: Line cupcake tins with baking cups. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 3/4 teaspoon salt into a medium bowl. Combine milk and vanilla in a measuring cup.

Beat butter with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium, and gradually add granulated sugar in a slow, steady stream. Beat until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour.

In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of the whites into the cupcake batter. Fold in remaining egg whites in 2 batches.

Divide batter among baking cups, filling each halfway full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each comes out clean and the tops spring back when lightly touched, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely in tins set on wire racks.

Meanwhile, make the caramel: Bring granulated sugar and water to a boil in a small high-sided saucepan, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-high, and cook until mixture just starts to turn pale gold around edges. Remove from heat, and immediately pour caramel onto a rimmed baking sheet. Working quickly, tilt pan to spread caramel to edges to make a very thin layer. Let cool to harden.

Make the frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla. Beat until creamy and spreadable.

Frost each cupcake using an offset spatula. Twist pan to release and break caramel in order for it to resemble broken glass. Place a shard or 2 of caramel “glass” in the center of each cupcake. Drizzle or pipe cherry preserves where caramel has entered the cupcake.

                I only needed to know how to make the glass. I made it 4 times exactly as the recipe says. It never dried. I put it in the freezer, it froze as planned. I broke it up. It looked perfect. And when I turned around to do the third cupcake. The first glass had completed began dissolving and melting and drooping all over the place. Other websites state at least 2-3 more ingredients and have much higher ratings. Recommend going to those instead.

                Disappointing.  The cupcake was more like a souffle and the first batch all sank in the middle.  The glass did not work.  Waste of my money and time

                I haven't attempted to make these yet and to be honest not sure I am going to - how on earth are we supposed to know what "2 sticks" of butter is?!! what's wrong with using the conventional weighing measures of pounds and ounces or grammes, why cups. I'm going to find another recipe

                I followed another user's instructions for the caramel glass--you really need corn syrup and a candy thermometer for this. I tried this sugar and water recipe and it never hardened; maybe it works, but I would need additional instructions for how since I am not familiar with candy making. Really cute idea--I'll be using corn syrup and red food coloring for the "blood" instead of cherry preserves.

                The glass will work, exactly as shown, if you take your time and use a candy thermometer.  You do not need corn syrup.  I used just water and sugar.  Don't even stir in the sugar. The key is to turn the boiling water down immediately after water comes to a boil and let the water slowly evaporate, this takes time, take the sugar off the stove, immediately, when your thermometer says 300 degrees.  If your sugar yellows, after cooling on silipat, run under hot water over the glass until it's clear.

                I only looked at this recipe for guidance and for the sugar glass and was extremely irritated when it didn't work, & now find that it couldn't possibly work~ & more frustrated to find EVERY other posting on how to make it has corn syrup and much better instructions. This post is linked to a Halloween site, and without the "glass" they're normal, every day frosted cupcakes. Needless to say, this boring alternative is what I'll be taking to work, since I don't have corn syrup around.

                My daughter made these. Our first attempt at the sugar glass was a disaster since it granulated upon cooling. So, we found a more reliable candy recipe from another site.  1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup water. Stir to combine, bring to a boil, then slowly heat to 302--no more stirring. Pour into a nonstick foil lined cake pan and spread thin, cool. The corn syrup is the key.  It's slightly yellowish but very clear and hard when cooled.

                The instructions for the glass could be more novice-friendly, providing a target temperature for the finished caramel as well as an instruction not to stir the sugar mixture as it heats (or crystals will develop), but the directions *are* accurate. The magazine/staff shouldn't be unfairly criticized for providing inaccurate or poor recipes; instead, they should be encouraged to remember not everyone has the same level of experience and make sure the instructions anticipate any/all questions.

                For a clearer looking glass (no bubbles) I use a kitchen torch (kitchen flame thrower) or other high, quick heat expending tools and quickly brush over the bubble filled area. Made the glass absolutely perfect!

                This was great.  I didn't use her cupcake recipe, I just bought box mix.  I used the her candy recipe for the glass.  The first time I didn't cook it long enough and it wouldn't harden, the second time I cooked too long and it was a clear golden color.  It was still cool because it looked like colored glass.  for the blood I used white frosting and red food coloring.  I warmed it in microwave to make it drizzle over the glass candy pieces in the cupcakes...everyone loved the cupcakes and glass!

                I am really glad I read some of the reviews to see how to make the broken glass.  I made it right on the first try and it came out perfectly and crystal clear with no bubbles.  I combined the sugar and water and used a candy thermometer. Start the heat out on high.  Once it starts to boil, turn it down to medium high.  After this point, it took about 15 minutes for it to reach 300. When I poured it out onto the silpat, it was bubbly, so I spread it out with an angled pastry saptula.  No bubbles!

                I also want to share that my husband explained that water won't rise above 212 degrees, so at 212 all you're waiting for is the water to evaporate.  This is what takes the most time.  Once the water has evaporated off the temperature will begin to rise, rather quickly, to the hard crack level (302 degrees).  Then, take it off pronto!  Pour on to Silpat and when it's cool it will be hard like glass.  No need to grease Silpat.  It's not as clear as the photo but it's probably touched up.

                OK, I read and reread all your comments.  I asked my husband to read all your comments and on the third try of this caramel recipe I DID IT!  The first try I let it go too long and it crystalized.  The second time I took it off to too soon and it was gooey.  The third time I didn't take my eyes off the candy thermometer and waited about 45 min. before it got up to hard crack.  I also used a stainless steel sauce pan.  Whew, thank you for all your comments!  Yes, Martha's staff messed this one up

                I made these cupcakes and shared with my friends who thought they were very delicious--which they were.  Everything turned out well except my broken glass was frosted.  I must have cooked them too long possibly.  But, cupcakes were very yummy.

                I finally settled on the THIRD batch of the "broken glass" which had turned amber.  I cooled it on a Silpat sheet in a cookie pan, then broke it into shards.  The effect is very realistic.  BUT BE WARNED:  THIS BROKEN "SUGAR GLASS" IS JUST AS SHARP AS REAL GLASS AND IT WILL CUT YOU AS QUICKLY!  It would be totally irresponsible to serve this to children and adults alike.

The recipe is sorely lacking in directions, i.e. cooking time, temperature of the syrup, etc.   AWFUL mess!

                Like other reviewers, I had many unsuccessful attempts making the broken glass.  I think I tried it 5 times.  I also eventually settled on yellow glass that looks like tempered glass.  And I only got a batch that was acceptable after consulting other cookbooks on making hard crack.  I learned that you have to spread the glass on the cookie sheet thin, but not too thin!  The cream cheese frosting is easy to make and delicious.  Overall, I'm pleased with the result, even if the glass is yellow.

                HORRIBLE RECIPE!  Wish they told me to GREASE the PAN with BUTTER before pouring the goop on it.  The last batch stuck to the pan - never to come out.  I threw the pan out into my backyard I was so mad.  The second batch turned WHITE when I poured it on non-stick aluminum and refrigerated.  The third batch is sticky and not hard as glass.

                Terrible directions for the glass- as in- none at all. How long should it take? I didn't stir after sugar dissolved and let it bubble for about 40 minutes to 300 degree and then it crystalized. Pour it on sheet ban and couldn't get it out. Started over and this time wouldn't crack. Waste of time and sugar. Really, bad directions. Gave up. Won't bother with the cupcakes. Don't pour on a non stick pan. It leaches and wrecks your pan. Awful recipe.

                Like other reviewers, I had many unsuccessful attempts making the broken glass.  I think I tried it 5 times.  I also eventually settled on yellow glass that looks like tempered glass.  And I only got a batch that was acceptable after consulting other cookbooks on making hard crack.  I learned that you have to spread the glass on the cookie sheet thin, but not too thin!  The cream cheese frosting is easy to make and delicious.  Overall, I'm pleased with the result, even if the glass is yellow.

                Okay, I tried the recipe I referenced earlier, and the "glass" came out yellow.  Since I've already wasted enough sugar, I'm just going with it.

                After three unsuccessful attempts at making the "broken glass", I found this very detailed recipe.  I actually haven't tried it yet, but with clear detailed instructions (and photos!), I'm pretty confident I'll have a better chance with this one.

                TERRIBLE directions for the glass.  I'm on attempt #5!  Thanks for sending the anglefire link.  Martha's staff usually does a much better job than this.  


                    
                It didn't work! PLEASE add more directions in your recipie. How long do I boil it for? Do I stir it? Do I spray my pan? Can someone please give more step by step directions if they have successfully tried this recipie. Thanks!

                HORRIBLE RECIPE!  Wish they told me to GREASE the PAN with BUTTER before pouring the goop on it.  The last batch stuck to the pan - never to come out.  I threw the pan out into my backyard I was so mad.  The second batch turned WHITE when I poured it on non-stick aluminum and refrigerated.  The third batch is sticky and not hard as glass.

                Terrible directions for the glass- as in- none at all. How long should it take? I didn't stir after sugar dissolved and let it bubble for about 40 minutes to 300 degree and then it crystalized. Pour it on sheet ban and couldn't get it out. Started over and this time wouldn't crack. Waste of time and sugar. Really, bad directions. Gave up. Won't bother with the cupcakes. Don't pour on a non stick pan. It leaches and wrecks your pan. Awful recipe.

                I left this glass recipe the way it was except I just boiled it the entire time for about 7-8 minutes, and it worked beautifully! Great recipe!
