Sophie's Mom's Cupcakes!

No,  I'm not talking about myself (since my daughter's name is Sofie) and yes this is a post about that bake shop who sells Homemade Mochi Truffles, Mochi Ice Cream, Red Velvet Cookies, Cupcakes, Specialty Breads and other delightful sweets!

I was scrolling down my Facebook's feed when I saw a photo of a cupcake with photo caption "...Green Tea cupcakes with whipped White Chocolate- Green tea frosting!" I had to check it out and of course the design itself looks delicious already! Upon checking out the whole album, I was able to see more favorite flavored cupcakes with cutesy designs and holders, I just had to share them with you all.

How to: Red Velvet Cake

Being a person that's utterly obsessed with anything red velvet, may it be cupcakes or cakes, I decided to try and look for the best Red Velvet Cake recipe that I've tried. So far, this is the best that I've tried and it's from Bakerella.com.

I'm starting a new blog segment that's basically a post about tutorials, demos, and how to's that's related to travel and food. Let's get started with the recipe.

What you will need...

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 cups sugar

1 Tablespoon cocoa

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups oil

1 cup buttermilk

1 Tablespoon vinegar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 oz. red food coloring

Steps...

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease and flour two 8 inch cake pans.
• Lightly stir eggs in a medium bowl with a wire whisk. Add remaining liquid ingredients and stir together with whisk until blended. Set aside.
• Place all the dry ingredients in your mixing bowl and stir together really good with another wire whisk.
• Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix on medium-high for about a minute or until completely combined.
• Pour into cake pans and then drop the pans on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
• Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• After about ten minutes, remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack. I also cover in plastic wrap while the cakes cool.
• Then make the frosting.

To make the Cream Cheese Frosting

8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 cups confectioners’ sugar

• Sift sugar and set aside. 
• Beat cream cheese and butter on high until creamy. Add vanilla. 
• Then, add the sugar in batches. Scrape down the sides in between each addition. 
• And frost away.

Enjoy your heart out!
