Recently, The Age Good Food ran a piece on Karen Martini's new cookbook, and published her recipe for red velvet cupcakes with marshmallow frosting. Now, these little cupcakes looked so cute that I had to make them - and besides, red velvet is always a hit.
Here's a peek inside the finished product:
My frosting doesn't look like the photo, but then again, food stylists have a way with their subjects that I cannot hope to match. I found the frosting quite sticky and therefore not that easy to work with.
These cupcakes were good; however, my favourite red velvet cake remains that of Libby Summers, with its moist decadent cake topped with cream cheese frosting. However, these were fun to make, and tasted good.

and they look so cute!!
That marshmallow frosting sounds really tricky to get right, but the cake recipe sounds quite good. I wonder if there's an easier way.

I think your cupcakes look really pretty with the white and red - and they look more real than Karen Martini's
Gaye, I have yet to attempt baking red velvet anything - these cupcakes of yours look very tempting though!
It's true that often styling and photography is more like trickery. I do love red velvet cupcakes and the marshmallow frosting sounds divine xx
A shame about the sticky frosting. I am convinced that they make dozens and dozens and then show the absolute best ones! :P
I like baking red velvet things, I shall search out the recipe you recommend.
