Howdy Kitchen: Red Velvet Cupcakes {Updated}

Well folks, I finally made the cupcakes. 

For some reason, this batch doesn't look all that grand on top.  But they still taste just great!

I believe I baked these about 15 minutes....and that was plenty of time!  Next time, I will shoot for 12 minutes instead, and work my way down until they look just right.

Plus, I won't complain if no one else wants to try them.  :)

On a different note, I finally talked to my long-lost Germany sister on Monday!  {Hi Gina!}

The reason for the call.....how to make the mini cheesecakes.  Jeesh!

She didn't even want to just chat with me.  She just needed to use me for my recipes.

Can you feel the love??  :)

Maybe it's because it was 9p her time, and she hadn't even made them yet.

So, I guess I can let it pass this time that she didn't have time to chat.

I can't wait until she and her husband are finally back in this country!  It has been a long 3 years! 

If you have any fun dessert ideas you'd like to share with me, please do so!

I have a couple of cheesecakes to make in the next week or so. 

But I'd welcome some new ideas!
