Congrats Erik!!!

A Good friend of mine passed his PE test

(Professional Engineer test)

Him and his wife were having a Congratulations party and I REALLY wanted to make them cupcakes. So, we came up with Red Velvet cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing.

Naturally this was my first time making this kind of cupcake and icing, and I welcomed the challenge! 

 Brilliant Red!
