Hi all,

I will try to bake red velvet cupcakes first time in my life icon_smile.gif I've found this recipe:

http://www.joyofbaking.com/RedVelvetCupcakes.html

I hope it gives the best result. But I have two other questions when cupcakes will be cooked:

First; what filling recipe should I use to fill the cupcakes?

Second; what frosting recipe should I use under the fondant? (I hope I can decorate red velvet cupcakes with fondant :S )

Thanks...

Red Velvet (typically) is always paired with cream cheese frosting, though it really depends on taste. I personally don't like cream cheese so I'd just use buttercream.

If you go to the recipes section and then to frostings there are loads there, just depends what sort of flavour you want

Ahh sorry one more question, what is shortening? We don't have shortening where I live. Is there any substitute for shortening?

Shortening is vegetable fat - Trex for UK

Meringue Powder is powdered egg whites - egg albumen powder in UK or just use egg whites depends how concerned you are about salmonella warnings
