I am doing red velvet cake or red velvet cupcakes for my birthday. But I need a cheap and good place to get them! I live in North Carolina. I looked at The Cupcake Shoppe Bakery! But any other ideas will probably help me a lot!

I have baked up the premix from the grocery store and they were good.
Cost about $1.00 a dozen but you got to wash the pan.

Ok that will work

And adding sugar free/natural applesauce instead of water will make it super moist! Happy birthday!

Thank you

How old are you?

I may have another suggestion for a special ingredient.

LOL! Yes, the unfree applesauce isn't as willing to do your bidding.

That's your choice :)

Don't let our tangent be the judge of applesauce in baked goods, though. I was serious when I said it made cakes very moist (and delicious).

LOL! But I am not using applesauce

What kind of frosting is usually used though buttercreamnor cream cheese

Don't judge this before you try it.

Cream cheese and cherry jelly.
Warm the cheese to room temp.
Use about 2 tablespoons jelly per 8oz pkg CC.
And 1 tbls lemon juice and beat the hell out of it
(after you mix them together.)edit
For at least 2 minutes with an electric mixer
Or 2 1/2 hours by hand. ( maybe less)

This is almost too good to feed to humans , so send the leftovers my way.

And Happy Birthday!

Thanks!!

Hello:

Isn't a red velvet cake just a chocolate cake dyed red?

OMG, and I don't eat sweets, but I'm going to have to try this after I eat some of my home made beef jerky!
