Red Velvet Cupcakes

First attempt at Red Velvet Cupcakes - November 2010

This was my first attempt using the hummingbird bakery recipe. I haven’t used a different Red Velvet recipe since.

I used a cream cheese frosting, hummingbird recipe same as the cakes and tinted half of it pink just for some variation. They looked more like little fairy cakes then full grown cupcakes, but you could taste the chocolate and they were clearly little red parcels of yummy goodness!

About:

I like video games, comics, rassling, zombies. Anything the masses would consider geeky, I would consider pretty damn normal. Combine them with cake and well, I guess you could say they make me a very happy girl.

Which is what I decided to do when I got made redundant in May 2010. After working with video games for close to 8 years, I was in no rush to storm back to work so instead decided to start doing some things I hadn't had much chance to do while i'd been working. Baking was one of them. Being a vegetarian and having a sweet tooth, i'd always rather have a pudding than a dinner plus personally, I think cake always makes the gloomy times a little brighter. I'd always been keen on baking and lets face it, getting made redundant is about as gloomy as it gets when you work in an unstable industry like video games so I started baking.

I started taking photos of all my 'creations' and feel now that I have a collection of a few hundred, that It was probably a good idea to start blogging about them and sharing the cake love!

Because as you probably already know, it is the little things that make this crazy world seem a little bit more bearable.
