Blueberry Red Velvet Cupcakes

A twist to the regular Red Velvet Cupcakes, here are some Blueberry Red Velvets that I did in the form of a cupcake bouquet for my MIL-to-be for Mother's Day. A pretty twist to the regular classic that's fun to present to any one that you love. 

This recipe will take you about 1h 15 minutes to 1 h 30 minutes to prepare and I'm rating it a 2 out of 5 for difficulty level. If you're doing it into a bouquet like the one I have in this picture, it should take you about 1 hour 30 minutes with a difficulty level of 4 out of 5. 

This tutorial will show you how to assemble the cupcake bouquet.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

Red Velvet Cupcakes. Where should I begin? This cupcake has been so highly requested by many. So here's a tutorial for a really simple Red Velvet Cupcake that doesn't require much effort. You don't even need an electronic mixer for this! This recipe is totally manageable without it. A sturdy spatula is all you need. I adapted this recipe from one that Karen Yee shared.

I just had my 3 consecutive days of examination and my hands itched to bake so much!

This is my 2nd trial with rainbow cakes/cupcakes.

I bought my WILTON gel colours when I went to JB so I baked some Rainbow Cupcakes with them today! This entire project took about an hour and yields 9 cupcakes.
