Red Velvet Cupcakes

I recently made red velvet cupcakes, what a quintessential treat in February! I follwed Paula Deen's video recipe(Paula Deen Red Velvet Cupcakes ) as all of us food lovers know, she can make a delicious (and fattening) dessert. So of course I guiltily ate give or take... a dozen of them!

It was no surprise that the baking process was a bit more tedious than other cupcake recipies I have tried in the past!! But the cupcakes turned out beautifully and I was more than happy to share them with a bunch of my friends who really loved them!

I was happy with the end product too... but I am in search of a sweeter cake recipe. Does anyone know a trick or secret to having richer, moister cupcakes?? My frosting usually balances out the sweetness of the cupcake but the cake alone leaves me unsatisfied and tends to be more similar to a muffin taste. I would love to hear input before I start baking up some more :)

A Blogging beginner...

Hello All!
I am a college student just learning how to cook for myself and I'm excited for all the cooking possibilities ahead of me. I watch Food Network daily and am always eager to try new recipes, I've been inspired by stumbling upon really great cooking blogs, there is a lot out there already but none completely specific to what I want. I am excited to meet and trade recipes with other bloggers and create wonderful dinners in a college sized kitchen and on a college sized budget! I'm looking forward to delicious beginnings :)
