Test #15 – Red Velvet Cupcakes

I know I’ve been neglecting my baking but the holidays came and went, work has been crazy, and my wonderful husband has put us on budget watch 2011 (I guess I was making too many trips to Target last year )…  so those are my excuses but I’m back in the saddle with some red velvet cupcakes.

I’ve always wanted to make these since they are so popular and found a recipe that seemed easy enough.  Most people don’t realize that’s it’s just a chocolate cupcake with LOTS of red food dye, so there’s really no magic to it.  A. had fun with the melted chocolate and licking it off the spoon and I think the cream cheese frosting is just enough but not too sweet to bring it all together.  Hope you enjoy!
