Chocolate icing:
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
4 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
White icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons whipping cream
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

For chocolate icing:
Bring cream and corn syrup just to simmer in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and vanilla; whisk until melted and smooth.
For white icing:
Whisk all ingredients in small bowl to blend. Let both icings stand 1 1/2 hours at room temperature to thicken.

Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in large bowl until well blended, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides of bowl. Gradually beat in egg mixture. Beat in dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk in 2 additions each.
Divide batter among cups. Bake until tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool cupcakes in pan on rack 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan and cool completely.
Spread chocolate icing over half of each cupcake. Spread white icing on second half of each cupcake. Let stand until set, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Store in single layer in airtight container at room temperature.)

Tips:

For a classic black and white cupcake, use a chocolate cake batter and a vanilla buttercream frosting.
If you want a more unique flavor, try using a red velvet cake batter and a cream cheese frosting.
You can also get creative with your decorations. Try using sprinkles, candy, or even edible flowers to make your cupcakes more festive.
To make sure your cupcakes are perfectly cooked, insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, the cupcakes are done.
