Red Velvet Cupcakes


I picked up the recipe from the Food Network website, and boy was it yummy. It was Lama's birthday and I decided to make it for her as a gift. The secret as you will read in the recipe is sifting all the dry ingredients well (I did so 3 times) -> I didnt make variations such as changing it to whole wheat flour, as if I've never baked a cupcake before I find it best not to change the recipe first until I taste it.
The icing was also a bit too buttery and less cheesy for my taste, so I think I need to put more creamcheese next time. This is my favorite cupcake (I've ever made)!

A marketeer, yoga enthusiast, with a penchant for baking, skateboarding and thinking of adding 1 more to her 4 tattoos. I was in Thailand 3 1/2 years ago when the baking bug got to me, for a long stretch (aided by insomnia) I would invent and bake cookies and cupcakes for friends. Most of my baked goodies I could only eat sparingly as I was wary of it being too unhealthy - so the baking stopped. I have recently turned vegetarian and realized that healthy food can be super yummy...why not baking? There are loads of inspiring journalling from friends (love Lyan's blogs on cooking and Shane's) that I was inspired to journal my own! So here's to an exploration of healthy sweet treats you and I can enjoy...guilt-free!
