Cooking instruction summary:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and prepare a cupcake pan with liners. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and sugar until light and fluffy- 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla. Mix in1 of the egg whites. Then mix inthe remaining 2 egg whites. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to make sure everything is well combined. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a small cup, combine the buttermilk and vinegar. Add half of the flour mixture to the batter and mix until well combined. Mix in the buttermilk mixture. The batter may look a little curdled at this point. Mix in the remaining flour mixture- mixing until smooth. Add the pink food coloring and mix until incorporated throughoutthe batter. Fill the cupcake liners about 3/4-full and bake 15 to 17 minutes- or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove them from the pan and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. To make the frosting: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese and butter. Add 2 1/8 cups sugar and beat until smooth. Mix in the vanilla and water or milk. Add remaining 2 1/8 cups sugar and mix until smooth. To pipe the frosting: scoop your frosting into a piping bag with a closed-star tip (recommend: Ateco 844 tip or Wilton 2D or Wilton 1M). To pipe a rose on top of your cupcake, start in the center, then lift the tip above the center and spiral around in a circle. When you are done, release pressure on the piping bag and pull away.
