Step-by-Step Instructions for Wildflower Meadow Cupcakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grab a muffin tin. Line the tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the large eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the creamed butter mixture, alternating with whole milk.
  6. Spoon the batter into your prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Frost each cupcake and top them with organic edible flowers just before serving.
