MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
    250 g  Cream cheese
    250 g  Mascarpone cheese
    125 g  Powdered sugar
    1/2    Vanilla bean
      1 pk Saffron
           Red icing color
 
  * Manitoba flour (Farina Manitoba) is flour made from
  the Manitoba variety of hard wheat, as grown in Canada
  and the States that has a high protein content.
  
  FOR THE DOUGH: Start by beating together butter, sugar,
  egg, vanilla and a pinch of salt for a couple of
  minutes.
  
  Add the two types of flour, the cocoa and the chile
  pepper. If you find some habanero chocolate, use it
  instead of the classical chile pepper. Its fruity
  flavour will wonderfully combine with the bitter
  taste of cocoa.
  
  At last add the milk and the cream of tartar and knead
  energetically till the dough is smooth.
  
  Fill 12 cupcake liners with the dough and bake them at
  180ºC/360ºF for about 20-25 minutes. Let them cool
  completely before decorating them.
  
  FOR THE FROSTING: Combine cream cheese, mascarpone and
  sugar. Divide the frosting in two parts.
  
  In the first one add the vanilla and a some red icing
  color. In the second half add the saffron.
  
  Let the frostings rest in the fridge for about 30
  minutes.
  
  Fill a piping bag with the red frosting, and squash the
  sides a little bit to cover the inside of the bag.
  
  Open up the bag again; drop the yellow frosting in the
  middle and push it down a little bit , this will create
  the two tone flaming effect.
  
  Close the piping bag and decorate your cupcakes.
