Red velvet cupcakes have always attracted me. There's just something romantic about it. I don't do a lot of baking or desserts because many of the recipes that I'm drawn to makes way more than two can eat - it's excessive!

| Red Velvet Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting |
So, I was really excited when I stumbled across this website that had this amazing recipe which makes just four red velvet cupcakes.
It was so delicious that I was salivating for more. More! There's none left, of course. It was all gone in a matter of minutes. Now, why did I just make four ...on the bright side, there is no chance of overeating with this recipe.
Anyway, check out my adventure in photos. You may find the recipe here: Red Velvet Cupcakes | Dessert For Two
The only thing I did differently is reduce the red food colouring from one teaspoon to 3/4 and sprinkle small sugar decorations instead of chocolate chips on top.
Bake today and drool no more!
 |
| 1) Mix dry ingredients 2) Mix wet ingredients (I used a hand mixer) 3) While mixing, gradually combine wet and dry ingredients 4) Pour batter into cupcake liners |
 |
| Bake at 175C in a pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes |
 |
| While the cake is baking, make the cream cheese frosting |
 |
| Pipe cream cheese frosting onto red velvet cupcake |
 |
| Sprinkle some sugar decorations on top ..voila! Too pretty to eat but too delicious to resist. |

| This is how it looks like on the inside! |
These are really so pretty! And velvety! Beautiful shots...loved seeing each step in your post!
