Instructions
1- Prepare the Decorating Paste:
- In a mixer, combine all the ingredients for the decorating paste except for 1/2 cup of flour. Mix well, scraping the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.

- Divide the paste into three portions and color each as desired. Set aside.
2- Make the Batter:

- Line cupcake pans with liners and pour the batter into them, filling 18 liners evenly.
3- Assemble and Bake:
- Divide the colored decorating paste into 18 equal portions.
- Flatten each portion between your fingers to form a disc, and place one over each cupcake batter.
- Use a knife to gently score the top, creating the traditional concha pattern.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the manteconchas for 25 minutes. Check at 18 minutes to ensure even browning, rotating as needed.
