my valentine's day cupcakes

after buying the red hots, i was stuck with the idea to make some chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting topped with red hots. here's the results:



. to make the frosting pink, i just added a few drops of food coloring to regular white frosting. i save old frosting containers to hold frosting since i always have extra when i frost cupcakes.

the cupcakes cooling

topped with yummy pink frosting


the finished product




ok, it looked so good i had to eat one.


look at the cross section. who could say no?



all packed up and ready to take to work tomorrow of course minus the one i ate. i love my cupcake carrier.

OOOh, I like the cuppycake holder, too. That is something I don't have.

Hmm...note to self -- must make a trip to Walmart for a cuppycake holder.

Your cupcakes look deeeelicious, Becca!

thanks baby. i had looked at ones thru tupperware but they were ridiculously priced, so i got mine at walmart. they have several different ones. mine is the two tiered one by mainstays. i am in love with it. now, i want to find a mini cupcake holder.

the cupcakes were a hit. the combo of the spicy cinnamon redhots and the cool vanilla icing elicted several comments. and, i got some hurrays on how moist the cupcakes were. my hint for moister cakes and cupcakes add extra oil. the box called for 1/3 cup oil, and i used 1/2 cup oil.
