Red Velvet Cupcake with Cream Cheese Rose Frosting


Cupcake has been a hit for a few years now, there are more and more cupcake store open in Sydney and around the world. It also becomes a pop start at celebration, wedding, birthday party or baby shower. And what make cupcake become one of the pop stars of the sweet culture?
It not a new invention but I think the creativity did make cupcake one of the most popular dessert. It is very easy to make and decorate. Don’t let the fancy appearance fool you and make you think it hard to make, as long as you have the right tool, everyone can be a cupcake master



Out of all the cupcake, I personally love red velvet the most. I still remember the first time I had a red velvet cake, I fall in love with the combination of a little bit sour and sweet taste. The soft and fluffy cake and the cream cheese work out so well together. Not to mention about the red velvet color which look like a great red wine. 
I made this red velvet cake whenever we have celebration at work or among friends, it does received a lot of good feedback. This time I was making this for one of my colleague on her farewell day. Well dessert can always make people happier. I hope you like this beautiful red velvet cupcake.
