And finally, another installment of my Cupcake project!

This cupcake was made for a coworker’s going away part at the end of April…clearly they weren’t great as I’ve been procrastinating posting about them since then.  But, anyway, here we go…Red Velvet.

Cocoa powder and flour.

And then the red dye gets added in…a whole bottle of red dye.

I’m BLEeeeeeeeeeEDING! j/k…just batter.

Baking soda and vinegar fizzies.

The not so greatness of these cupcakes was, perhaps, my fault.  I may have been distracted while making them.  And I may have accidentally added a 1 cup of buttermilk instead of 1/2 cup.  I may have then tried to compensate by added more flour, sugar, and cocoa.  This may have resulted in tasteless and bland cupcakes.

The icing was rockin’ though.

Rating:

  • Availability of Ingredients: A (normal stuff…)
  • Ease of Prep: B+
  • Time: B (normal prep time…unless you F up the batter like I did.)
  • Appearance: C- (not a big fan of the FAKE RED…why do that?  food coloring is all that makes red velvet red velvet.)
  • Cake (texture and taste): D- (I don’t like to fail people…but seriously.  Bland nothingness)
  • Icing (texture and taste): A (I’m getting to be a master of the cream cheese frosting)
  • Final Grade: C- (I’m just meh about this one.)

Ok…now to kick myself out the door for a long run.  I’ll be back after 14 miles.

And, I have ANOTHER cupcake to post too.  A DEEEEELISH one, too.  Prepare your drooling.
