I just used the Red Velvet cake recipe to make cupcakes for Christmas morning breakfast. They are yummy. Thanks William and Shirley Boone for sharing the recipe.
These are some really good recipes. Give them a try any time of the year. I have made each of them many times over the years, recently the red velvet cake. Very yummy!
