Red Velvet Cupcakes

Red Velvet Cakes have been around since the 1930's that we know of. The scarlet red hue was caused by the vinegar, cocoa powder and buttermilk reacted together (some would use the juice of beetroot). 

The velvet was add because of the smooth texture of the cake. Most people fell in love with these cakes not because of the cake itself, it was because of the cream cheese. The sweetness of icing sugar added to the cream cheese made these creamy Red Velvet yummies into a smash hit for all to enjoy!

Today, Red Velvet is in high demand! We have many request for them and like to come up with new ways of making them. Some have the cream cheese frosting, while others have buttercream. Some are topped with fondant and filled with white chocolate.
