Cupcakes

So a couple weeks ago, I got to make Jeff's cousin, Virna, some classic Red Velvet Cupcakes for her sons 16th birthday. I love making these Red Velvet! Not to jinx myself, but they always come out really yummy!

Here are some shots:

Virna snapped a shot for me of the cupcakes in the stand.

Thanks so much for the order Virna! I really appreciate it! 

I had some extra cream cheese frosting, so I rummaged through the fridge and pantry to see what I could do. I decided some Carrot Cupcakes were in order. My mom took them to Police Station where she work for the evening briefing and she told me she didn't get down the hall with them before they were gone! Such a great compliment!

I on the two outer cupcakes, I sprinkled them with cinnamon and the one in the center I did the same but added some chopped walnuts. Just to play around with different looks- plus, not everyone loves nuts.

I'm such a cupcake fiend! 

Happy Cupcake-ing! The baking kind... or the cuddling kind if you'd like ;)
