Red Velvet Yummy-ness

So last night after much thinking i decided to make some Red Velvet cupcakes. Now I have up until this point never made red velvet cupcakes. So let me say this OMFG I’m pretty sure i have radiation poisoning from all that red food coloring. Ok now that we have that out of the way.

Picture Goodness

Red Velvet Cupcake

I did like these cupcakes. They where very light and fluffy. But they didn’t have the velvet texture i imagined them to have. So I’m going to try another recipe i think. These cupcakes where light and airy and not as decadent as i would imagine a cupcake named Red Velvet.

So Bloddy Cakes gives Red Velvet Cupcakes a WIN! But it still needs improving.

Cupcakes of Success

At last! Bake and Destroy’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Buttercream frosting can mock me no more!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Buttercream frosting.

Apparently the combanation of craptastick cupcake pan and the oven of suckage are what where burning my cupcake butts. So this last time i made them i put them in a silacone mini cupcake pan and a shinie mini cupcake pan. I also baked them at 330 F rather then 350. And I must say they came out super yum.

LOOK Ma no more burnt cupcake butt!

Bloody Cakes is very happy with her self at the mo.
To Bake and Destory I thank you! For your cupcakes are most delishous and your blog rocks my socks!

Thank you and enjoy………

Peanut…..peanut butter and Chocolate…….

Does anyone remember this song? I know some of the words. Granted back in my kindergarten days it was ~~Peanut…….peanut butter and jelly~~~  i can’t remember any more then that though. There where some actions to it I think.

Anyways 🙂 On to cupcake goodness.

I found a cupcake recipe on Bake & Destroy! And it looked so yummy to my brain meats. I’m really trying to go as home made as i can when ever i can. I mean really, if I’m gonna fill my boy with bad stuff like sugar and fat. The least I can do is make sure there are as few unnatural things as possible in my yummy treats. So wile meandering through B&D i came across this Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes Yes! Home made chocolate peanut butter cupcakes with a peanut butter butter cream frosting. I don’t think you could get anything more yummy then this. Just reading the recipe had my brain going nom nom nom. And you will never find a more tasty frosting. EVER!

So i went out and got the peanut butter. We eat a lot of peanut butter. I really don’t think just saying we do is going to get the point acrost. So here is picture proof of our peanut butter problem.

Yep that’s 5 Jars of PB.

And here is a picture of batch #3.

Note my 3 year old boy The Hatchling pointing out the cupcake. You know in case anyone missed it.

It took me 3 try’s to get the cupcakes to come out to my satisfaction. I sill think I could do better.  I did alter the recipie a bit. First i used creamy peanut butter in batch #3. I also used milk chocolate and peanut butter chips. My oven seems to hate me and is burning the bottoms just a bit. SO i think i need to recalibrate it.

So Bake & Destroys Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes are a WIN. My oven is a Fail.
