Week 1:
So first I need to find what cupcake I was going to make which actually took some time. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do something I already made or something else. After much looking, Red Velvet came up ! I found good Paula Deen's recipe. I haven't made red velvet yet and it seemed simple enough as well. My other trouble, go figure was making only 12 not 24. Thankfully the recipe was easy to cut in half.
While looking around I found that if you don't have buttermilk, you can make"sour" milk as a substiution! For one cup of "sour" milk, it's 1 tablespoon of vinager and fill the rest with milk. I used apple cider vinager since that's what I had. For the frosting, I wanted to make a cream cheese frosting.(my fav.) But of course I didn't actually have cream cheese, had neufatel cheese. It has 1/4 less fat and I dont taste the difference. You will have to try and see if you taste the difference, because my mom didn't like it at all. =)
To frost the cupcakes I used the 1/8 round tip. I still don't like the way it came out. I still think that the tip needs to be bigger or I need to use a fluffier frosting. The taste was there though, which is great!
Overall, they tasted great and were very moist. This time I have also posted pictures. Please enjoy!Well let til next week, happy baking!!
