Red Velvet Cupcakes
“You’re so tall.” I don’t know how many times Molly must hear that in a week and for a chick, she IS tall. It’s so obvious that she’s tall, that for me it cracks me up every time someone feels obligated to mention it to her. It’s the equivalent to saying to a person, “You have two arms.”
Seriously.
But this post isn’t about what irks me about how people address Molly. It’s about MOLLY’S BIRTHDAY! She lived in Dallas at the same time I did. I lived off Greenville Ave and she lived in Uptown. The neighborhoods are different (Tudor homes versus Brownstones) but if you lived in one, you found yourself going out in the other. It’s highly likely that we were at the same places at the same time.
On Molly’s website, she states that her favorite food is Red Velvet Cake and Wingstop wings. While I can’t figure out how to ship wings, I do know how to get her the cake.

This cake was made from a Sprinkles! cupcake mix I purchased at Williams & Sonoma. At $14 dollars for the mix alone, not counting the frosting and adding in the wet ingredients. I’ll post a review on their box mixes later. Cost aside, this cake mix is moist and tasty. The cream cheese frosting is traditional and flawless.

As the birthday recipient, I can vouch that these babies were tasty. I am picky about red velvet and it is my absolute favorite cake. The cake part had a perfect richness and flavor. The frosting was creamy but not too sweet and overpowering. I couldn’t even manage to save the one I was supposed to be bringing home for the hubby. Oops!
