You Valentine's red cupcake on that deep blue and white plate is beautiful! If the product is as good as the presentation ... I might ...er...bite. But probably not, I cook but am not patient enough to bake.
i am making cupcakes tonight for the valentines ball tomorrow night. i am also today working on my frida kahlo dress. i am touching up the human (rather gory) heart painting on the bodice and adding a border of sugar skulls on the hemline.
thats why i cant post today.
fishy said beets were in red velvet. that is so wrong
K9, Go visit www.smittenkitchen.com , they have a recipe for the original Beet Red Velvet Cake.
I know this sounds crazy but I was sure I remembered a great granny making her cake with beets and seltzer and also I think the Amish ladies with baked goods at the markets still offer "beet cake".
Probably not any more surprising than sugar skeletons on the hemline of a Valentine's dress ! Please post photos.
All the historical information I have says this cake was first made at the Waldorf-Astoria in the 1930s, but I always suspected that its roots were more rural.

Actually, Fishy, I nicked the photo from the Web (see the Undaunted post). But, yes, it's lovely and gives me ideas!
Going over for some goodies.
