Yeah I think I saved the recipe for the Red Velvet Cupcakes somewhere from a food blog site, I also just found one on Youtube that has cream cheese frosting mmm!
The Red velvet cake is a Very strange cake, some have beetroot and others just have red food colouring anything to make it red I guess.
Anyway I think I'll give that a go around Christmas so I can easily offload some of them onto friends and family.
So you're saying simple buttercream is tastier than the Meringue type buttercream, is that from experience?
I'd never heard of eggs in buttercream until a few months ago and it seems to make them lighter, fluffier.
I figure I'll have to try both and make a decision then.
