Red Velvet Cupcakes

I'm sure most people who land on this blog will have had a red velvet cake of some sort.  They have had a popularity boost in the last few years and can now be found at most bakeries and cupcakeries.  Some hit the mark, others don't.  We hope our Red Velvet will be considered one of your favorites.

Red Velvet is not just a red cake-- real red velvet is a smooth, rich cake made with buttermilk and vinegar.  It should have a silky texture and a hint of chocolate.  Who could complain about that?  So after much testing over the last year or so, we have landed on our favorite version of red velvet cake.  

There is much debate about the frosting.  Traditional red velvet cake does not have cream cheese frosting, although most red velvet cakes are now made that way.  But Corinne and Susan both are big fans (and I mean big fans) of cream cheese frosting.  So that's what we've put together: moist, silky cocoa cake and a vanilla cream cheese frosting.  We top them with little pearls to dress them to the nines, and now they're ready to be devoured!  Enjoy!
