A few days ago I was at my favorite store, Williams Sonoma, and bought the coolest thing~ a mechanical pastry bag! Sort of like a cookie press. I've been dying to use it. So today, I found a great recipe for "Magnolia Bakery Red Velvet Cupcakes".
Figured this went along with my "Sex and the City" high I'm still on. So I got all the ingredients and started cooking. The cream cheese frosting recipe said to have the cream cheese and butter at room temperature. By the time I finished the cupcakes and was ready to start the frosting, I had almost melted butter and cream cheese. There really is a lot of red food coloring in them.
I went ahead and made the frosting (hoping for the best). The pastry bag worked great! So easy. Next time I'll know to use a smaller tip. I gave some to my neighbors and they said they were "to die for". Should have used tin-foil liners, but oh well. Enjoy!
aloha and a hui hou,
