    They all look so lovely and beautiful. The red velvet cake looks the best, but perhaps its the black background that is making it all so elegant.

    SUCH good ideas! My husband loves red velvet cupcakes and yours look beautiful — maybe that’s the direction I’ll go this year. I’m scared, though…. last time I made them (for his bday), I ran out of red food coloring, and they turned into brown velvet cupcakes…. not what you want.
