  • Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Set aside. *If you don't have cake flour, you can prepare it like this: 1 cup of flour, remove 2 tablespoons and replace them with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and that's it.*
  • Beat the butter until creamy, add the sugar and beat until combined, add the eggs and vanilla, and mix.
  • Add the dry ingredients alternating with the milk.
  • Once the mixture is ready, fill the molds to 1/3 of their capacity and divide the remaining mixture into 2 equal parts.
  • To the first part, add 4 drops of red coloring and, if desired, 2 drops of strawberry essence. Using a piping bag, inject the pink mixture into the center of the white mixture that has already filled our molds, injecting about 2 tablespoons into each mold.
  • In the second mixture, add only 2 drops of red coloring to achieve a paler shade, then, using a piping bag, follow the previous procedure but inject 1 tablespoon into the center of the pink mixture we added earlier.
  • Bake at 180°C for 18 to 20 minutes.
  • To prepare the frosting, beat the butter until creamy, add the powdered sugar and beat until incorporated, and finally, add the vanilla.
  • For the chocolate flowers, melt the chocolate in a double boiler, separate into equal amounts and dye pink, white, and yellow.
  • With a flower-shaped stencil, place wax paper and decorate with chocolate until it hardens.
  • Finally, decorate the cupcake.
