Red Velvet Cupcake LOVE

Someone who knows me all of my life has insisted that I tell where Amylynn and I have been eating those red velvet cupcakes.  First, I have to say that Amylynn has not really done them justice with her description. 

These cupcakes are truly heavenly.  As she says, they are moist but they are so much more then that!  They are delicately flavored with cocoa, just like real red velvet cupcakes should be.  Some bakeries load them up with too much cocoa powder almost turning them into chocolate cake.  Not so with these little beauties.  Their color is also spot on, they are red.  Not brownish red or pinkish red but RED – just like red velvet cake should be.  As for the icing – yum!  The frosting is smooth and shiny, with just the right amount of sweetness and just the right amount of cream cheese flavor to balance each other out.  TOGETHER, the cake and the icing are a dream come true.  And, each one is topped with a small wafer of dark chocolate.  I make Amylynn eat that first before she can have any of the rest of the cupcake!  (Honestly, you couldn’t find a more indulgent friend to spend your time with but you’ll have to find your own Amylynn because she belongs to me and Isabella.)

Please send the Quill Sisters $1.00 cash to find out where to get them.  (Just kidding person who’s known me all of my life!)

They are at Starbuck’s.  But, I believe they are only available at the Starbuck’s that are located inside of Barnes & Noble.  Actually, I think they might really come from the Cheesecake Factory.  I’ll have to look into that and report back . . .
