Red Velvet cupcakes

Red velvet wasn't really seen a lot in Britain until recently, however I have always been a huge fan. The cream cheese frosting is by far my favorite part it's not overly sweet and has a lovely consistency. The sponge is always moist and the red colour makes it different and fun.

Red Velvet cake

 There is something about red velvet, I don't know whether it's the moist sponge or the cream cheese frosting but I am addicted. This cake is perfect with a cuppa and a huge hit with my family. Simple to make and something different.

Carrot Cupcakes

 One of the first cakes I ever made on my own was a carrot cake, it was the first recipe I created and one of my favourites. It also very popular with my friends so I am always making it.

The past few weeks my friend Keira had been under a lot of stress from University, today was her hand in day for her coursework so as I treat I told her I would make her favourite cake, only problem was I had run out of self-raising flour and only had enough for one half of the cake. 

I've always wanted to try carrot cupcakes so I decided to mess around with my cake recipe and find a way of turning it into some scrummy cupcakes and these were the results, they basically tasted just like the cake and were amazing! 

PUMPKIN WHOOPIE PIES

 It's Halloween! I love Halloween, it's an excuse to dress up, and this year I'm going as red riding hood.

Anyway the one thing that makes Halloween even better is pumpkins, in the UK it is really hard to come across pumpkin puree so cooking with them outside of October is a nightmare, so yesterday I went to Tesco and bought four... it may seem a little extreme but I just love pumpkin!

RED VELVET WHOOPIE PIES

 I have a feeling that I may have become a little bit obsessed with Whoopie pies as they are all I think about and all I want to make. They are just so moist and tasty, I think I am in love. Anyway enough with the drooling over Whoopie pies, here is my red velvet Whoopie pie recipe with cream cheese filling. Yum enjoy!
