FOR THE CUPCAKES:
1 stick Butter (soft)
1 cup White Sugar
2 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 teaspoon Red Food Coloring
1 teaspoon Blue Food Coloring
1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
2-1/2 Tablespoons Chopped Lavender
2/3 cups Light Cream
FOR THE ICING:
2 bags Earl Grey Tea (individual Size Tea Bags)
4 Tablespoons Boiling Water
1 stick Butter (soft)
3 cups Powdered Sugar

1
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 12-count cupcake tin with paper liners and set aside.
2
Meanwhile, in a large metal mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until combined.
3
Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until creamy. Stir in the food coloring and mix until you get a deep purple. Using a spoon, stir in the flour, baking powder and chopped lavender. Stir in cream.
4
Mix until batter is fully combined. Fill each cupcake liner 2/3 full with batter and bake for about 12-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out dry.
5
Meanwhile, put the tea bags in a heat proof bowl. Pour the boiling water over the tea bags and let them steep about 10 minutes.
6
To prepare the frosting, in a medium sized bowl beat the butter and 2 cups powdered sugar until a thick, creamy frosting forms. Squeeze the liquid out of the tea bags and discard the bags. Add the liquid tea to the frosting and add remaining 1 cup powdered sugar. Beat until an ivory colored frosting forms.
7
Frost the cupcakes using your preferred method and sprinkle dry tea leaves (early grey) on the tops.
