Red Velvet Holiday

I have been very tardy with these posts, I will use the excuse of being too busy over the holidays! I made this cake back in December, for a festive gathering. Red Velvet, so good, so red! With cream cheese frosting, obviously. It was a hit!

cupcakes for a cause

mmm rainbow velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting :) i baked these this weekend to be sold at a bake sale for a good cause. i hope they've raised a lot of money! i had some issues with the frosting, it didn't come together as well as it has in the past, i will have to investigate this further. they still taste great! three colours of 'red' velvet cake, all the same flavor. i will definitely try this again in the future! xo

shamrock cakes

happy st. patrick's day week! i went all out this weekend with these green (red) velvet cupcakes. different recipe for the cake as it didn't contain any butter, same cream cheese frosting though with a bit of green for good measure, and the shamrock sprinkles! the real st. patrick's day recipe is coming up this week, i can hardly wait! xo

THE valentine's cake

this is my red velvet cake, the baking went well but my layer cake construction leaves much to be desired. this was my first three layer cake though. the recipe actually called for vanilla frosting but i think cream cheese frosting is the way to go with red velvet. one week early for valentines, but there will be some more valentines treats coming up this week!
