These are my number 2 requested items (right behind banana) I typically make them without any coloring and call them Not So Red Red Velvet Cake, but for my moms birthday I added bright pink. The frosting is amazing, a yummy combo of cream cheese and hint of cinnamon. I decorated the cupcakes with a swirl of frosting and a blue royal icing flower (frosting was too soft to keep shape). I stacked them on white milk glass cake plates, my "tower" wasn't fully aligned, totally didn't realize it until I was looking at the pictures.
