Ingredients
  

Cupcakes

  • 140 ml Buttermilk See notes for buttermilk substitution
  • 120 g Soft unsalted butter
  • 150 g Granulated sugar
  • 2 units Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
  • 160 g All purpose flour
  • 20 g Corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 pinch Salt

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 160 g Cream cheese room temperature for one hour
  • 100 g Soft unsalted butter
  • 300 g Icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • Yellow and orange food coloring

Instructions
 

Cupcake Preparation

  • Beat the soft butter with the sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
  • Mix the flour with the baking powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Add half to the batter. Mix for a few seconds until well combined.
  • Add the buttermilk and mix well.
  • Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until you get a smooth batter.
  • Scoop the batter into cupcake molds lined with paper cups. Fill each one up to ¾ full.
  • Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 18-20 minutes.
  • Let cool completely before decorating.

Decoration

  • Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator an hour before mixing. Lightly beat cream cheese with the vanilla extract until it becomes smooth and soft.
  • Add the soft butter and beat it with the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Sift the icing sugar and mix it into the cream cheese mixture. Continue beating on medium speed until creamy and light, about 3 minutes.
  • Cover with plastic and refrigerate for an hour before decorating.
  • Scoop out 3 tablespoons of frosting into a small bowl and color it with yellow food coloring plus a little orange to get a deep yellow frosting.
  • Set a piping bag with the bigger round tip and fill it with the white frosting. Set the other piping bag with the smaller tip and fill it with the yellow frosting.
  • Mark a circle in the center of the cupcake with a round cutter or the base of a piping tip.
  • Make each petal with the white frosting, from the outline to the center of the cupcake.
  • For the center of the daisies, use the yellow frosting to make a ball.
  • To make faces to your daisies, melt chocolate in the microwave and draw the faces with chocolate in the center of the flowers.
  • Serve immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 3 days, well covered.

Notes

Cupcakes can be left at room temperature for a few hours if the weather’s not hot.
