Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pan with liners. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. In a small bowl: combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add alternately with the buttermilk and honey to the batter. Stir in vanilla. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full. Bake 18-20 minutes—until cake tests done. Cool completely on rack before frosting.
