Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 23 regular-size muffin cups.

  • 3
    In medium bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Add whipping cream and 2 teaspoons almond extract; beat on high speed until well blended. Fit large decorating bag with a medium star tip. Spoon frosting into bag; pipe decorative swirl on top of each cupcake. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
  • tip 2
    An ice cream scoop is a good utensil to use for filling the muffin cups with batter.
  • tip 3
    Tint frosting with water-based food color to match the wedding colors.
  • tip 4
    Wrap each cupcake in laser-cut cupcake wraps or other decorative papers.
