Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

•1 cup butter, softened
•1-1/4 cups sugar
•1/8 teaspoon pink paste food coloring
•3 eggs
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
•1/4 teaspoon baking soda
•1/4 teaspoon salt
•1 cup buttermilk
•WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE:
•2 cups white baking chips
•1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
•1 tablespoon butter
•Pink coarse sugar and sugar pearls

Steps:

  • •In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and food coloring until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. • Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 23-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. • Meanwhile, place white chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chips; whisk until smooth. Stir in butter. Transfer to a large bowl. Chill for 30 minutes, stirring once. • Beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes or until soft peaks form and frosting is light and fluffy. Frost cupcakes. Roll edges of cupcakes with coarse sugar; decorate with sugar pearls. Store in the refrigerator.
