Red Velvet Cupcakes

Hey guys, Emily here!

For my first anniversary with my boyfriend I decided to make him red velvet cupcakes!
Red velvet cupcakes are soft and light and have an amazing cream cheese icing.

Sort of red?
I used my wonderful silicone moulds that worked perfectly including the heart mounds which gorgeous.

A tip for if you make these, don't put the cream cheese icing on until you ready to eat them, leave the icing in the fridge and the cupcakes in the cupboard as I found that the cupcakes lasted quite a while in the cupboard while in the fridge they dried out. Next time, I will add more  food dye as my cupcakes were not quite as red as they were meant to be.

A couple of the cupcakes I made into cute butterfly cakes by cutting off the top and then cutting the top in half flipping the cupcake adding icing and arranging the top to look like wings.

These are a fantastic (and if dyed properly) a stunning, light and fluffy cupcake perfect for any special occasion, or just because you can. Happy Baking!! :D


Yummy!! (The hearts are in the bottom
right, aren't they sweet?!)
