  • Preheat the oven to 170°C and prepare the cupcake molds by placing a liner in each one.
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the 1/2 cup of butter until fluffy, add the sugar and beat until well mixed, then add one egg at a time.
  • Start to gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the butter until fully combined. Add one tablespoon of vanilla and mix for 2 minutes.
  • Divide the batter into the cupcake molds and bake for 10 minutes or until done. Allow to cool before adding the frosting.
  • Divide the frosting into 3 bowls, and color one with a little red food coloring to make pink, another green, and the last one brown. Use a piping bag for the pink and divide the other for the green and brown.
  • On a board lined with aluminum foil, place one cupcake in the center and six cupcakes surrounding it to create a flower shape; do this two more times. About 10 cm down from the flowers, place two separate cupcakes to represent the flower stems.
  • On the 3 center cupcakes of each flower, add the brown frosting (this can be done with a piping tip), on the 6 cupcakes of each flower spread the pink frosting (these are the petals; you can use a piping tip to help), finally on the cupcakes below the flowers, put the green frosting and make a thick line in the middle of the two cupcakes. You can add more details to make the cake look nicer.
