Scarlet’s Red Velvet Cupcakes

Being a redhead, I seldom wore the color red growing up – lots of green dresses, but I won’t dwell on that here. Now that my hair has softened in color and looks more blond (Mother Nature, I promise!) I bought my first red dress. I had no idea how on-stage you are in red. Maybe that’s why it is so festive during Christmas and says it all at Valentine’s. And maybe that is why we love Red Velvet Cake so much. Take it to a potluck, and it is the star. Bake it for a birthday, and it says let’s party. Bake it in cupcakes, and everyone is happy. I hope you enjoy this cupcake recipe – plenty red, subtly chocolate, topped with creamy frosting, and decidedly on-stage.

Here is the recipe.
