Our "red velvet" cupcake attempt

My friend Carissa and I decided we wanted to make red velvet cupcakes since they are so incredibly delicious. This is how it went down..

we went to Publix, bought all the ingredients, looked like fools in the grocery store. ( we are not the shyest people when we're together). Got home and got to work. Okay, were in good shape. Everything is moving along nicely until the dreaded food coloring fiasco... NO RED FOOD COLORING! wah wahhh. So us and our bright ideas decided.. hey blue and yellow make red don't they? We are now in agreement that blue and yellow will make beautiful red velvet cupcakes.
Perfect lets mix blue and yellow with some cocoa.. then of course there was not enough! wahh wahhh. Time for more bright ideas... lets put green! that's close to blue right? .. wrong? ... our "red" turned a wonderful shade a black. Unbelievable.

So using some more of our creative skills we oh so cleverly named these cupcakes.. black and white cupcakes and ended with a well deserved glass of RED wine.
