Red Velvet Cupcakes





Red Velvet cake has got to be one of my favorite kinds of cake. Its kind of a mix between chocolate and vanilla cake, dyed a dark red, and finished with cream cheese icing. Some people prefer a roux-style icing for Red Velvet Cake, I prefer cream cheese; I think it brings out the smoothness of the cake. I tested recipe after recipe for these cupcakes and today I finally found one that has the crumb consistency I was looking for. Yay!

Individual Raspberry Cheesecakes

One of the recipes I tested today is individual cheesecakes. The cakes all have a little graham cracker crust bottom, and are filled with from scratch vanilla cheesecake filling. I finished them with a little rasberry coulis. The concept for these actually came from my awesome husband McKay! He says he gets all the credit....
