I thought I’d post these recipes together as a one stop shop since we tested so many recipes, as I mentioned in this post. We mom bloggers voted this as the best combination of red velvet cupcake and frosting. The cupcake recipe is courtesy of Terri Wahl from an episode of Throwdown With Bobby Flay. Birdrock Fabrications made it. It was the winner with Paula Deen’s Red Velvet Cupcakes at a close second. However, both [...]
