red red velvet

This post is gonna be fairly short and sweet- ba dum chhhhhh....

So next weekend I'm lucky enough to be taking a trip to Alaska for my cousin's wedding. I seriously could not be more excited about it! Anyway, I've been asked to make cupcakes for the future Mr. and Mrs... Specifically carrot cake and red velvet. oooooohhhhhh red velvet... Now, I've never made red velvet before, so I needed to do a practice batch, and that was tonight. These aren't just any red velvet cupcakes though- I wanted to add a little umph to them. Queue the red wine! This is another instance of combining two of my favorite things.

They turned out... umm... AWESOME. They weren't very red, but that was because I thought I had enough red dye to play with, however that was not true. Didn't matter though, it was just a test for texture and taste- and boy did they ever pass it.

Pictures and recipe to come later, just wanted to give you all a little teaser.

Goodnight, my little cupcakes!
