My Red Velvet Seem to Be an All-Time-Fave!

Current Mood: Happy, happy, joy, joy! (Not really sure why)
Current Song: Armin Van Buuren-This is What it Feels Like

SO apparently, my red velvet cupcakes have been a huge hit lately and they are everyone's favorite! Well, at least in the Heath family!

Meg's bridal shower was last Sunday and she was SUPER surprised. It was so beautifully decorated at Peerce's that day. Had I brought my broken high heel cupcakes in, it would have ruined the beauty!

That's right...they all broke :(

Kelly had wanted me to make high heel red velvet cupcakes for the shower. This was SUCH a cute idea, but here is my tip for the week...and for baking life:

If you're baking/preparing something so so SO delicate, be sure to assemble it all once you arrive to the place that you will be serving your creations!!! I can't stress that enough after my horrible experience Sunday.

Thank GOODNESS I only made one dozen high heels and the other two dozen were just regular red velvet!

A quick recap of what happened to the high heels:

1. Liv buys the expensive cookies that are involved in making the high heel cupcakes. You need some pirouette cookies and some Milanos.
2. Liv assembles the super cute high heel cupcakes with diligence.
3. Liv decides not to use super glue to hold the pieces together (she thought the guests at the shower wouldn't think they tasted too good)
4. Liv attempts to move them onto trays for transportation and succeeds with this part!
5. Liv drives from Duluth Ave. to German Hill (.1 of a mile, if that)
6. Liv turns around briefly and notices that at least 5 are already broken
7. Liv arrives at Peerce's with one high heel standing, YES!!!
8. Liv leaves all of the heels in the car because she's pretty late as it is.

That's basically how it went folks. Oh well, next time I will DEFINITELY assemble the high heel cupcakes at their final destination. They were just so cute and I was so disappointed :(

Here is what they looked like before transportation! Thank goodness I got a photo before the storm


At least they had other cakes/cupcakes there! My red velvet were still a hit as always :) 

Cheers! 
She was so surprised!
