I do believe the Food and Drug Administration, considering a redesign of the food labels found on food in the US, would benefit from checking out the submissions to the redesign the food label contest hosted by Good. The results are pretty dang impressive, with particular attention paid to conveying clear, easy-to-grasp-in-a-glance, graphics. Check out the finalists HERE. Shown are submissions by Melissa Messer and Chris Sensat, William Hilson and Corinne Pritchard.

For Topping:
- Mini Biscoff biscuits (one per cupcake)

Method
Step 1 – Bake the Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line a 12-hole cupcake tray with cases.
- Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture, mixing gently until combined.
- Divide batter evenly into cupcake cases.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden and springy.
- Cool completely before frosting.
Step 2 – Make the Biscoff Buttercream
- Beat softened butter until pale and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar gradually, mixing until smooth.
- Beat in Biscoff spread until fully combined.
- If too thick, add 1–2 tbsp milk for a silky, pipeable consistency.
Step 3 – Decorate
- Pipe swirls of Biscoff buttercream onto cooled cupcakes.
- Top each with a mini Biscoff biscuit.
- Sprinkle crushed biscuits for extra crunch.
Tips for Perfect Biscoff Cupcakes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter.
- Don’t overbake – cupcakes should be soft and springy.
- Chill the frosting slightly before piping for firmer swirls.
- Make ahead – cupcakes can be baked the day before and frosted when ready to serve.

Oooooo…yes! I’d be happy with just having a 100g equivalent for comparison (as other countries do) but showing me the miles and more info like that would make me SO HAPPY.
Also? Not going to happen. Have you read Food Politics by Marion Nestle? The USDA exists to serve the industry, not us. The bickering history she presents of the food pyramid alone will depress you into needing to bury your face into a big fat brownie. *sigh*
