1.. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter and shortening at medium speed
with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add
eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition.
2.. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to butter mixture alternately
with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed
until blended after each addition. Stir in extracts.
3.. Place paper baking cups in 2 (12-cup) muffin pans, and coat with cooking
spray; spoon batter into cups, filling two-thirds full.
4.. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes
out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire
racks, and cool completely.
5.. Prepare 2 recipes of frosting. Beat first 4 ingredients at medium speed
with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating at
low speed until blended. Beat at high speed 2 minutes or until creamy. Makes 3
cups.
6.. Fill each cupcake with Wedding Cake Frosting. To fill cupcakes, insert
the end of a wooden spoon or dowel into the center of the cupcake to make a
hole. Fill a zip-top plastic freezer bag with filling or frosting. Use scissors
or kitchen shears to snip about 1/4 inch from one corner of the bag; insert bag
into the hole in the cupcake. Squeeze gently until filling comes to the top of
each cupcake.
7.. Top each cupcake with sparkling sugar, gum paste roses, and edible pearls.
