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.

These cupcakes are a great way to show off your baking skills. They're not difficult to make, but they look and taste like they came from a professional bakery.

I was short on time, so I made a few shortcuts. I used a boxed cake mix and store-bought frosting. The cupcakes still turned out great, and they were a hit with my family.

I made a few modifications to this recipe to make it healthier. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I reduced the amount of sugar in the frosting. The cupcakes still turned out great, and they were a healthier alternative to tr
