The Great Cupcake Challenge - Valentines

English Mum, our guest judge for the February Home Baked Challenge, is holding The Great Cupcake Challenge with a Valentines theme. I decided to have a go, seeing as we hardly ever make cupcakes anymore.


I wanted to have a go at red velvet cake, as it seems to be trending - I keep hearing about it recently which is odd, because before that I had only really heard of it from that wedding scene in Steel Magnolias where someone makes an armadillo shaped red velvet cake!

I topped them off with some vanilla butter cream icing (discovering that piping is not a skill in my repertoire!), lilac chocolate dragees and pearly rainbow sprinkles - fun!

There is still time to join in with The Great Cupcake Challenge and you could combine your entries for that and the Home Baked Challenge.
