So love was all
around us this week. Valentines day came and went. Red, pink, hearts and
flowers were all around. I literally had hearts in my eyes. But who can forget
about the delectable treats that are cupcakes! So with all this love in the
air, I decided it’s time to try my first attempt at red velvet and cream cheese
frosting.
So I did some
research about these wonderful cupcakes, reading about chemical reactions and
vinegar, cocoa and buttermilk. Seriously…all these things in one cupcake, I
felt like a scientist. But so I did the digging, came up with a few recipes,
and then took the plunge. And boy was I rewarded with the most delicious, soft,
dense cupcakes. Not even to talk about that cream cheese frosting.
I also have to thank
Bakerella, I took some inspiration from her valentines cupcakes with Cupid’s
arrow. I just decided to give it a twist, fill the straws with 100’s and 1000’s
and poke them through the delicious red velvetness. I personally think that
cream cheese icing is the next best thing since sliced bread…but meringue frosting
comes a close second.
So please enjoy these
Cupid’s arrow cupcakes. Make them for a loved one, for yourself, just anytime
you feel like baking. The recipe will be posted soon.
