Red Velvet Cupcake

Finally, I got a chance to try on Red Velvet Cupcake.

It was Melisa, one of my loyal customer whom I successfully encouraged her to try Red Velvet Cupcakes. It's my first time making red velvet cupcakes too and I was happy that the result turned out great.

I can't exactly remember where the recipe come from as I got it from my print out recipe file and there was no resources written. But I'm pretty much sure it's taken from Joy of Baking's website.

Here is the recipe :
