Hey lovelies, Spring is finally in the air (or at least it was until the snow this weekend!) and so a new season calls for new recipe posts on my blog which I'm so excited for. I bake a lot in my free time, and while all my healthy and vegan recipes that you can read here are all well and good, sometimes I've got to throw in something like this...
Complete with cream-cheese frosting, and raspberry pieces, these red-velvet cupcakes are such delicious treat for Spring, and who doesn't love a brightly coloured cupcake? My sister and I originally made these for Mother's Day but they went down so well I'm sure we'll be baking more batches throughout the Spring. Hope this inspires a bit of sweet baking for you today, and let me know in the comments what other recipes you'd like to see on my blog next.
