Steps:
- Begin by preheating oven to 350°F / 175°C and place cupcake liners in baking pans.
- Add 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 tsp baking powder into a large bowl and gently combine with a large spoon or whisk.
- In a separate bowl, add 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 large egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp of peppermint extract, and 1 squirt of red gel food coloring (optional). Whisk together until the ingredients are combined.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir together until just combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners about 3/4 way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to finish cooling. If you want to accelerate the cooling process, pop the pan into the freezer for about 30 minutes.
- Beat 1 cup of room-temperature butter on a high speed for 30 seconds with a whisk attachment until smooth and lighter in color.
- Mix in 2 tsp vanilla extract on a low speed. Slowly mix in 3 cups of powdered sugar on a low speed. Halfway through add 1/3 cup of heavy cream to make the frosting easier to mix.
- Mix on low for a couple minutes until the ingredients are combined and the desired consistency is reached.
- If the frosting is too thick, add in additional cream (1 Tablespoon at a time). If the frosting is too thin, add in more powdered sugar (1/4 cup at a time).
- Color 2/3 cup of frosting red with gel food coloring and place in a small piping bag fit with a small leaf tip.
- Color 1/2 cup of frosting green with gel food coloring and place in a small piping bag fit with a small leaf tip.
- Color 1/4 cup of frosting yellow with gel food coloring and place in a small piping bag fit with a small round piping tip.
- Place the remaining uncolored frosting in a large piping bag fit with a round frosting tip.
- Cover the top of each cupcake with the white frosting, then pipe a poinsettia on top. Pipe 5 green leaves first around the outer portion of the cupcake, followed by two rows of red petals (5 petals per layer). Fill in the center with small dots of yellow frosting.

POINSETTIAS CUPCAKES
Steps:
- Combine the butter, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld electric mixer). Mix on low speed until mostly incorporated. Add the vanilla; increase the speed to medium-high and mix until smooth. Adjust the consistency with milk as desired. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature and mix on medium-high until smooth.
- Put 1/3 of the frosting into a medium bowl and the remaining 2/3 into a second bowl. Color the smaller amount of frosting with the green food coloring and stir to combine. Color the larger amount of frosting with 5 to 10 drops of red food coloring - until a dark red color is achieved. Transfer the green buttercream to a disposable piping bag fitted with a #63 leaf piping tip. Transfer the red buttercream to a disposable piping bag fitted with a #366 leaf piping tip.
- Pipe a dollop of red buttercream on the tops of each cupcake and smooth with a small offset spatula to cover the tops.
- Pipe red buttercream on top of each cupcake creating petals in a star shape. Pipe a second star shape pattern on top of the first but offset the points so they are in between the first layer of petals. Pipe the green frosting with the flat side of the piping tip facing towards the cupcake and make leaves in between each of the bottom layer of petals. Pipe a cross shape with the red frosting in the center of the flowers. Sprinkle the centers with silver dragees.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and cream cheese until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Add egg and vanilla; mix until well blended. Stir in flour by hand using a sturdy spoon while adding enough red food coloring to make the dough turn a pretty red color.
- Roll the balls in the red decorator sugar and place them on the prepared cookie sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Refrigerate the cookies on their cookie sheets until firm, about 10 minutes.
- When the cookies are firm, make three slices across each cookie to make 6 slices like a pie, cutting only about 2/3 of the way through the cookie balls.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies appear dry. Cool on the cookie sheets, then peel away from the aluminum foil.
- Make the icing for the cookies by mixing the confectioners' sugar and water until it reaches a piping consistency. Add a drop of yellow food coloring. Put icing into a pastry bag or resealable bag and cut a small piece off of the corner. Pipe small dots onto the center of the cookies. Allow icing to dry before storing cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Cookies can be stored for up to two weeks.

- In large bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Gradually add granulated sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping bowl occasionally. Beat 2 minutes longer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about one-third of mixture at a time, and milk, half at a time, beating just until blended.

On low speed, beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, scraping down side of bowl occasionally. Add 2 tablespoons milk; beat on high speed until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. Frost cupcakes.
- In small microwave bowl, microwave 2 candies uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until warm enough to be pliable. Cut candies in half. Form each half into flower petal, 1 1/4 inches long. Use toothpick or paring knife to make marks on petals to look line veins. Repeat with remaining candies.
- On each cupcakes arrange 5 candy petals in shape of poinsettia. Using leaf tip, pipe green icing between some of the petals for leaves. Using round tip and yellow icings, pipe dots in center of petals for stamen. To form wreath, arrange 12 cupcakes in circle on serving platter. Serve remaining cupcakes on another platter.
