Instructions:
Warm up the oven to 350F 175C and put paper liners in a cupcake pan
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium-sized bowl using a whisk
Put away
Put the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy
One egg at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition
Add the vanilla extract and mix well
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing them in with the milk every other time
Start with the dry ingredients and end with the milk
Dont mix any further than that
Put an equal amount of cupcake batter into each of the two bowls
Put the gray food coloring gel in a bowl and mix it until it turns the color you want
Put the pink food coloring gel in the other bowl and mix it in until its the right shade of pink
Spoon scoops of gray and pink batter into each cupcake liner one after the other until they are about two thirds full
After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean
After taking the cupcakes out of the oven, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes
Then, move them to a wire rack to finish cooling
Get the frosting ready while the cupcakes cool
Put the softened butter in a bowl and beat it until its smooth
Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract one cup at a time and mix until the mixture is smooth and fluffy
If you need to, add more milk to change the consistency
Take the frosting and put it in two different bowls
Put grey food coloring gel in one bowl and mix it until it turns the color you want
Add pink food coloring gel to the other bowl and mix until the color you want is reached
After the cupcakes are completely cool, pipe or spread swirls of gray and pink frosting on top of each one
If you want to add a little sparkle, you can sprinkle edible silver glitter on top
Have fun with your little pink and gray treats
