I freely admit I am over the hill, no spring chicken, etc. But I do try to keep up somewhat with language. I am making cupcakes for my dd graduation, and am running into recipes that are labeled “low-faff”, “high-faff”. Okay, at first I tossed it off as a typo of fat, but googling faff brought a bewildering amount of hits, and I’m still clueless. Can anyone help? 
faff seems to be british slang for either wasting time or in this case perhaps fuss. Maybe low faff would be basic cupcakes with minimal frosting and high faff would include fancy designs.
Here’s my take on it, though I’ll admit right here that this is the first I’ve ever heard of faff.
faff is defined by wiktionary as
My guess is that a high-faff recipe is one that is complicated and will take a good amount of time to complete. low-faff recipes would be simple ones (e.g. Duncan Hines cupcake mix)
again, this is just a WAG, but it makes sense to me.
ETA: ooh, beaten to the punch. Then again, our interpretations are somewhat different.
Ahhh, Britishisms. Whew. That makes sense. I thought I was losing my touch with th’ younger generation.
And I was reading a UK website. So thanks, both of you.
