Hummingbird Bakery Red Velvet Cupcakes and cream cheese frosting



Yes, I contemplated for too long and today, I decided to bake the so famous Red Velvet Cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.

Really didn't like the idea of putting colouring in my food, but I guess I have to compromise because I really wanted to try making one to try and eat it. All the talks about trying.

Got the recipe from  Brown Eyed Baker (click the link for the recipe), although i reduced the sugar amounts for both the cupcakes and the frosting to the same amount as the flour and for the icing, i didn't measure how much i put mainly because i tasted as i mixed resulting in a watery frosting.

Do take note that while mixing your frosting, do not overmix them because it will turn really watery and "un-pipeable".


After baking it, it tasted more like a chocolate cake but i liked it because i didn't have any of the baking soda aftertaste that I absolutely do not like.

Do also note that this recipe calls for unsweentened cocoa powder so it will be great to use brands like hershley and hershley (because i do not know any other unsweentened coca powder that I like).

That's all for today, do let me know what you would want me to bake and I'll try it out (if i like it) and I will give a review on it :D
