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.
