Red Velvet Cupcake

I love red velvet cake so much. It looks so sexy in its reddish colour and cream cheese toppings.

A little history of the red velvet..

The place of its origin is United States. It is traditionally prepared as a layer cake topped with cream cheese icing, and sometimes cookie dough filing. The reddish colour is achieved by adding red food colouring.
