- **Instructions:** for **Classic Yellow Cupcakes:** |
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. |
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. |
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. |
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. |
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk until just combined. |
6. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. |
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. |
8. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting. |
- **Instructions:** for **Three-Color Whipped Cream Icing:** |
1. In three separate bowls, divide the whipping cream equally. |
2. Add powdered sugar to each bowl and whip until stiff peaks form. |
3. Add saffron to one bowl for yellow color, green food coloring to another for green color, and leave the third bowl white. |
4. Gently fold the colors to achieve the desired shade, being careful not to overmix. |
**Chocolate Wheel Decoration:** for **Chocolate Wheel Decoration:** |
1. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave, stirring until smooth. |
2. Pour the melted chocolate onto a piece of parchment paper and spread it out into a thin, even layer. |
3. Allow the chocolate to set slightly but not harden completely. Then, cut it into small triangles and arrange them in a circular pattern on a baking sheet to create a wheel shape. |
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, spread or pipe a layer of each colored whipped cream icing on top of each cupcake, one color over the other. |
Carefully place a chocolate wheel decoration on top of each cupcake. Finish by sprinkling edible white beads over the top of the cupcakes for an elegant touch. Enjoy your beautifully decorated and delicious cupcakes! |
