What can be used as a hardener for frostings?
Powdered sugar can be used as a hardener for frostings. You can keep adding it until the icing is as thick as you would like it to be.
When you make cupcakes how do you make the patty pans stick to the cupcake and not fall off?
You have to bake the cupcakes IN the patty papers. If you just put them in after, they wont stick. You are probably baking the cakes a little too long. When you remove them from the oven they shrink quite a lot and then the papers peel away. Try removing the cakes from the oven when they are just cooked and the patty papers will stick. Alternatively some specialty cake shops stock patty cases that are made from two pieces of paper in a cylinder with straight rigid sides. These are much better and you won''t notice if the cakes have come away from the papers.
Where did cupcakes originate from?
The name of "cupcake" is given as it is a small cake the size of a teacup. In previous centuries, before muffin tins were widely available, the cakes were often baked in individual pottery cups, ramekins, or molds. The British name "fairy cake" is a fanciful description of its size; an appropriate size for a party of diminutive fairies to share.
Is the muffin top healthier than the rest of the muffin?

How many things in a recipe do you need to change to make it yours?
To make a recipe yours you must change four things.
Another answer:
In general cooking, there are no fixed rules on changes needed to make a recipe your own. You could use a recipe identical in, say, type of ingredients, to someone else's and have the end result a totally different dish.
Balance of ingredients, cooking times and methods, finishing, and so on, all contribute to making a dish your own. If another person can look at and taste two different dishes and assess them as being different from one another, then they aredifferent, no matter how many or how few changes have been made.
Even legal protection of your intellectual property, where you invent or produce a particular food, doesn't give real protection; this is why manufacturers of well-known foods such as Coca-Cola closely guard their recipes.
If you want to use someone else's ideas, but make the finished dish entirely their own, then simply make sure you do so in an honest manner. You'll know yourself whether your recipe is honestly your own invention, and so will others, so there'd be little point in claiming a recipe as your own when anyone can tell by tasting it that it's identical to another person's.

Where does King Arthur flour get their wheat?
The best question is where does King Arthur get their flour? King Arthur is purely a marketing company. They do not now nor have they ever actually operated a flour mill. They started out by importing flour from Europe. Today they buy most of their flour domestically. Speculatively I would guess they buy their flour from ADM, ConAgra, Horizon or North Dakota Mills but it is hard to say and it is probably a combination of these companies.

Does dry roasting peanuts destroy omega 6?
Mostly, yes, but it will also destroy the omega-3 and omega-9 and whatever other polyunsaturated fats as well (and some monounsaturated as well, I think). Polyunsaturated fats are not very stable and at temperatures over 200 degrees will break down. That does not in any ways make them healthier. When fats break down, they become free radicals, which will wreak all sorts of oxidative stress on your body, increasing risk for heart disease, stroke and all sorts of illnesses.
If you dry roast the peanuts yourself at 170 degrees Fahrenheit (it'll take a good 24 hours or so to completely roast them), the fats won't break down, but they're probably still contaminated with aflotoxin anyways.
