Using an electric mixer beat 2 eggs for about 1 min. (medium speed- KitchenAid mixer)

Add 3/4 cup sugar and mix for another minute.

Next step is to add about half of flour mixture. Mix until incorporated.

Add 1/4 cup buttermilk. Mix.

Add remaining flour. Mix.

Add 1/4 cup buttermilk. Mix.

Be sure that all ingredients are incorporated. The butter will be thin,

Pour batter into a lined muffing pan. (about 3/4 full)

Bake for 15 min at 350 F.

Insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, cupcakes are done.

Cool the cupcakes.

You will get 12 cupcakes.

Now , we need frosting.

Frosting:

2 and 1/2 cups sifted icing sugar

1/2  cup + 1/8 cup butter

3 TBSP heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/8 tsp salt

gel food coloring

Beat butter with a whisk attachment for about 3 min.

Add 1 cup sugar, 3 TBSP heavy cream, 1tsp vanilla extract and 1/8 tsp salt.Mix for 2 min.

Add 1 and 1/2 cup sugar and mix for another 3 min on high speed.

Spoon about 1/3 cup of the frosting into another bowl. Stir in a couple of drops of coloring. I used pink one.

Spread the pink frosting around the edges of a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M tip.
Spoon the white frosting in the center.
Place the tip directly on top of the center of the cupcake.
Using steady pressure, pipe a tight spiral around the cupcake.

Be proud of yourself! You did it. It looks fantastic.
