From the feedback I got from friends, they liked it.<br /><br />The colour of the batter after you add the red food colouring is amazing! I just could not stop admiring the slightly reddish chrome colour.<br /><br />I filled the cupcake holders till about 1cm from the top for the first batch but they didn't rise very much. Certainly not as nice as the ones that you made. So I filled it up more for the rest but still... I used the icing liberally to decorate so it was very pretty and did hide the slight gap at the edge of the holders.<br /><br />The taste is nice but I by the 2nd day, the cupcake was a little dense. Still, I will definitely make it again.<br /><br />Thanks!Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757056382528292900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-4560977399607224142009-05-26T10:51:42.810+08:002009-05-26T10:51:42.810+08:00@Anonymous - don't know...that one was from Sugar ...@Anonymous - don't know...that one was from Sugar Butter Flour!Nate @ House of Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999631992214200998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-52134778423838011072009-05-25T06:32:14.453+08:002009-05-25T06:32:14.453+08:00What tip was used for the one frosted with the nut...What tip was used for the one frosted with the nuts on top?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-62761642480076907442009-01-05T11:01:00.000+08:002009-01-05T11:01:00.000+08:00@Nurit - what's wrong with food coloring?@Nurit - what's wrong with food coloring?Nate @ House of Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999631992214200998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-80893467827922741272009-01-04T10:20:00.000+08:002009-01-04T10:20:00.000+08:00these look sooo good.

I finally did using your cream cheese icing recipe and red velvet recipe (found here http://butterandlove.blogspot.com/2007/08/sinful-red-velvet-cake.html) they were a hit!! The recipe I found was an adapted version of a Paula Deen's red velvet cupcake recipe and very flavorful and moist.

Make sure it's well blended.<BR/>3) Beat in a couple of eggs. Again, make sure it's well blended.<BR/>4) Add a teaspoon of distilled white vinegar and about half a bottle of red food colouring (the recipe says two bottles, but I find that slightly silly). Blend that in, then drop your mixer speed down to low. 5) Alternate the dry ingredients and a cup of buttermilk. Start with flour, then buttermilk, flour, buttermilk, flour. Make sure to blend the dry ingredients all the way in before going to the next addition. 6) Finally, add a teaspoon of vanilla, blend it in, and then pour your batter into two greased 9" round cake pans. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until it tests done. <BR/><BR/>If you do it in cake pans, you cool fully on racks before turning out and frosting. I'm sure it would work in cupcake tins too, though! You might adjust the time a little. I have no idea what the red velvet cupcake craze is, but it's fun to watch :-)Avoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421329030289929378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-52893064667008392322008-07-19T05:55:00.000+08:002008-07-19T05:55:00.000+08:00So glad the icing worked out for you :)Have a deli...So glad the icing worked out for you :)<BR/><BR/>Have a delicious day!<BR/>~EmEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425192198375245648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-41847616139137644032008-07-18T20:49:00.000+08:002008-07-18T20:49:00.000+08:00Cupcakes are the IN thing now...even in Hong Kong....Cupcakes are the IN thing now...even in Hong Kong.<BR/><BR/>P.S The celery shreds - they were done using a fruit shredder! :)tigerfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575213806359208350noreply@blogger.com
