It’s the end of Halloween and the start of wedding season in SA and red velvet cupcakes are becoming increasingly popular wedding cake fare; Red Velvet Cakes are the most popular wedding cake in America-not only for their dense rich texture but for the unexpected flaming red colour of the sponge.
Very Moulin Rouge and seductive the sponge is actually so quick and simple to make and is perfectly partnered with cream cheese icing.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the new heart shaped pastel wafers from Nicoletta.
Their delicate little pink hearts were used on my chocolate icing for the cupcake course and the white ones were so delicate and light, they sat obediently perched on top of the lightest fluffiest whipped meringue icing-anything else would have weighed down the meringue or fallen off.
These large ones come with an edible food colour Koki (in pink of course) so you can write little love notes for lunch boxes, cupcakes and cakes, or pop them in whipped cream on a pavlova!
