Red Velvet

It became pretty clear to me last night that I needed to have a cupcake baking session. And not just any cupcake, it had to be Red Velvet. My fav.

On date night last night George and I hit our usual stops. Old Navy (where I used my groupon! whoop!) Best Buy, Starbucks, then Target. While we were in Starbucks we ran into quite a bloggy crowd! Katie, Misty, and Susanna!

As I was deciding what I would shove into my mouth, I saw it. The little red devil. It was a TINY red velvet whoopie pie. I devoured it in like 2 bites. Was it worth my husband's $2.95? NO. But it did make me want some cupcakes!

So off we went to Target to get some necessities. You know, cake mix, icing, milk, two cans of silly string, tampons, wine, & a pink hair brush for Lucy. 

Aside from the fact that I had a little taste for red velvet earlier, my friend Brittany sent me a coupon in the mail for a free box of cake mix. Hello best thing to get in the mail!

Also, I saw this post on one of my favorite blogs. She had that Cupcake wine WITH red velvet cupcakes. I mean, is that a win or what? I have seen the Cupcake wine before and thought I would love it, but since I am no wine expert I only buy what my wine loving buddies tell me to buy, and since they never recommended that brand I was to afraid to buy it. Well, after seeing that lovely post, I knew it must be delicious.

So home I went, to make my cupcakes and drink my wine and watch a little tv.

Im so glad I found these pretty wrappers.

All iced and ready to eat. Im going to have to give some of these away, or I wont make it through my front door.

I did a "rose" icing. I found a little tutorial on Pinterest back when I was planning Lucy's party. So easy!

Cupcake Wine!

And even though it was boxed cake mix, I couldnt have made it without my girls :)

I love them. Cutest measuring cups Ive ever seen :)

*The silly string: I know you are wondering. When the kids got home from hanging out with George's mom last night, we attacked them with silly string. IT WAS AWESOME. Ryder wanted to get us, but his little fingers arent strong enough to press the button. I guess it remains OUR weapon!!!!!!
