Yield Makes 1 dozen regular or 3 dozen mini cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups milk
Vanilla Buttercream for Flower Cupcakes
Chocolate pastel lentil candies, for flower centers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line regular or miniature cupcake pans with liners; set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down bowl, and beat in vanilla.
  • Alternating, add flour mixture and milk to butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl to ensure batter is thoroughly mixed.
  • Divide batter evenly among liners; fill regular pans three-quarters full and miniature pans to just below the top. Bake until golden and tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes for regular and 15 minutes for miniature. Rotate pans once while baking. Turn out, and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely.
  • Fill pastry bags fitted with couplers with buttercream. To shape the petals: Use an Ateco #104 flat-petal tip. With the wide edge of the tip in the center of the cupcake, pipe the petal by making a halfmoon motion with the outer, thinner edge of the tip. Repeat until you have 5 or 6 petals forming a flower. Garnish the center with a candy. To shape the leaves: Use an Ateco #68 leaf tip with green icing to make the leaves by piping from the flower towards the edge of the cupcake, lifting off as you reach the end. Place iced cupcakes in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cupcakes hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use parchment paper cupcake liners. This will help the cupcakes bake evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will allow the cupcakes to rise properly without overflowing.
  • Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • Be creative with your frosting and decorations. You can use different colors of frosting, sprinkles, candy, and flowers to create unique and beautiful cupcakes.

Conclusion:

Flower cupcakes are a delicious and beautiful treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own flower cupcakes at home. Just follow the tips above and you'll be sure to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
