red, velvety, love

i gotta start off by saying, 1) im back in toronto for a week (!!) and 2) we are going through a major heat wave right now-starting a few days ago and lasting all week, at least. its been hitting the high 30's, with some intense humidity..its not fun!! anywho, dylan came up this afternoon and i got a craving for cupcakes and we went for a little walk (thankfully the place is quite close to me so it wasnt too far). we found the dessert lady and luckily, there was 3 red velvet cupcakes sitting there! this is by far my favorite cake flavor EVER. they were a little small for the price of $2.99, but boy were they delcious!!! and even though the icing was cold and delicious (bc they put it on when we bought them), as soon as we stepped outside, it started to melt haha good thing it only took about 3 bites. after that, to beat the heat, we made our way to coldstones. another delicious treat!!

however, not to toot my own horn, i think my red velvet cake that i made for valentines day was pretty top notch! it was only beaten by the dean and deluca one i had in NYC last week...
doesnt it look delish?? well it was lol im definitely making it again.
