cuppin' cakes.

red velvet is for fall.

because i’ve never once perfected a made-from-scratch red velvet cake mix, these are straight out of the box. not much skill involved, just concentrate on making them appropriately adorable and in-season.

1. gather ingredients.
2. mix said ingredients.
3. follow directions.

easy as pie cake.

the icing i choose 9 times out of 10 for red velvet cupcakes is cream cheese. why? do i need a reason? cream cheese icing is to die for.

4. gather ingredients for icing.

1 8 oz. pack of cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened

4 cups powdered sugar

2-3 teaspoons of milk, or as needed

5. mix. (depending on the amount of icing used per cupcake, measure accordingly. i usually double the amount of cream cheese and butter. too much powdered sugar will get heavy, so i don’t always double that amount. and as for the milk, i barely use any.)

6. my favorite part is the end: deciding how to decorate. keep it simple? maybe? this time i did.

oh, and step 7. ENJOY!

“When you share a cupcake, you share love.” - unknown

a passion that many these days can understand. but also, one that not many these days would choose to revolve their lives around.

i fully intend on doing just that.

i daydream daily about a bakery cupcakery surrounded with everything and everyone i couldn’t possibly love any more. i daydream about a shop i can be proud of. one that exudes every ounce of my creative desires. one that screams “this girl loves awesome things!” i want to be successful, i want to work for myself and i want to provide for my own life. it’s the american dream, right?

until then, i am making ends meet. i will share what i have and what i can’t wait to create, only in hopes of gaining loving followers. i will continue to get millions of great ideas and inspiration from creative minds all over - and tons of support from loved ones.

i will do what i love.
