- 1 bottle pink gel food coloring
- 1 Cake box (strawberry or red velvet flavor)

Instructions
Sugar Cookies
- Place butter and sugar in a bowl and use a stand mixer to beat until light in color. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mix, and beat until the mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. Divide the dough in half, cover with a plastic bag, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the surface where you will roll out the dough with flour or powdered sugar. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, sprinkle the rolling pin with flour, and roll out the dough to ¼-inch thick.
- Cut into rectangles and then start in the middle of the rectangle creating a triangle that only goes until half the length of the rectangle. From there cut another two triangles on the side just as in the photo, or you can use crown-shaped cookie cutters.
- Grease a baking sheet with cooking oil and place the cookies shaped dough on top. Bake between 7 and 9 minutes at 375 Fahrenheit.
- Let the cookies cold down.
Cupcakes
- For the cupcakes, I used a cake box mix in strawberry flavor. I will recommend better using a red velvet cake mix. The strawberry flavor wasn't my favorite. This recipe takes some time as you need to make the cookies beforehand so I actually started a day before baking the cookies and decided to use a cake mix for the cupcakes instead of making them from scratch.
Frosting
- For the white frosting, I am just using the store-bought cream cheese frosting
- For pink frosting mix the cream cheese frosting with the pink coloring.
- For more intense pink color, you can add some extra food coloring or add a drop of red food coloring.
- Fill a piping bag with each of the colors you want to use.
- Now in a clean piping bag add a strip of each color.
- Push the icing down and start decorating those cupcakes!
