V-Day Velvet

As I promised last week, here are more cupcake photos. I made these cupcakes for a friend celebrating Valentine's Day with her husband. She asked for Red Velvet cupcakes since it was one of her flavors in her wedding cake.

Look at that electric color! I borrowed a tip from Martha Stewart and used a TON of red food gel (like the kind you use for frosting). It's concentrated, so a little (or a 1/2 teaspoon) goes a long way.

Into the oven we go!

The finished result - they're not so electric anymore.

The cupcakes going to Texas for Valentine's. I love showing what my cupcakes to-go look like.
