Red Velvet Cupcakes

This week has been crazy busy - poor Mike, I think he's spent more time in the kitchen this week than he has during our entire marriage combined. But it will all soon be worth it! My brother and sister-in-law are coming tonight to visit, so of course we're inviting a bunch of friends over for a party, and I'm hosting a bridal shower for one of my best friends on Saturday. 


My sister-in-law Becca is pregnant and I'm so excited about it, I freak out and do a happy dance every time I remember I'm going to be an aunt. I don't even know what I'm going to do when I see Becca in person. I've only seen her three times since I found out she was preggo (I think everyone in the room lost a little of their hearing the moment I found out.) and now everyone says she's starting to show and I can't wait to see her belly!! 

I'll be back next week with lots of recipes from the party and all the details on how the shower went down. 

Alrighty folks, back to the kitchen I go. Mike, I know you're editing this, but hurry up - I need you to frost those cupcakes!

Not my photo. 

Close your mouth. 

Come on. 

It's Shawnda's from  Confections of a Food Bride - She's AMAZING and those cupcakes I need Mike to frost are these red velvet cupcakes - here's the recipe. It is incredible! 

So incredible I ate about three cupcakes worth of the batter alone - Bah.
