- In an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and the sugar till they are light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 min. With the mixer running, carefully pour in the Large eggs and the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Fold in the flour mix and the buttermilk by alternating between 1 c. of flour and 1/2 c. of buttermilk; be sure to start and end with the flour mix.
- Line a cupcake tin with paper liners. Fill each c. with batter using an ice-cream scoop with a 1/4-c. capacity; the batter should nearly reach the top of the c.. Bake for 25 to 30 min.
- Cold the cupcakes for 45 min on a baking rack. Generously ice them with White Frosting. Top with a Snowflake made from Royal Icing.
- WHITE FROSTING: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the confectioners" sugar and butter till smooth.
