Red Velvet Cupcakes


I’d like to give a big thank you to Foodgawker but more specifically Ambrosia.

Last night I successfully made a batch of tasty and delicious Red Velvet Cupcakes for my Valentine! (ok so they may have been a day late and may have been my second attempt but let’s not talk about that).

After checking each step of the recipe approximately 20 times I was delighted when out came a dozen moist, fluffy, deep red cupcakes!


Daumer was so proud.. I was just happy that they didn't come out like hockey pucks again. I unfortunely don't have anyone to blame but myself. I'm thinking it was probably because I was running from the kitchen to the living room to watch the bachelor every two minutes.

I purchased an icing kit with multiple tips and plastic bags from Michaels and once the cupcakes were cool I began swirling on the cream cheese icing. I noticed the icing softened by the time I got to the 9th or 10th cupcake from my hands and the kitchen being toasty. I think I should have followed the advice from Ambrosia and not filled the whole bag with icing but now I know for next time.

This has boosted my confidence and got me thinking of the next delicious treat I can make.
