Friday: Colours... Black

Hmm another difficult one for me but I'm taking the prompt lightly so I'm going to go with today and yesterday making 'contrast.' I've found the only photo in my archive that supports this prompt..

These are some coffee and chocolate cupcakes I made a few years ago as a wedding gift for some family friends, they were much appreciated. As I looked at the photo I thought it felt like yeas ago I made these, only a couple.

Monday: Colours... Red hmmm

Well I didn't keep up last week but I'm back at work now, thats a mix of babysitting my crazy and lovely nieces, data inputting for Mum and Dad and my favorite... baking!

As soon as I heard todays word I knew exactly what Photo I was going to use... Red Velvet Cupcakes of course!

These aren't my personal favorite but they are a favorite of my best friend and her partner so I've perfected the recipe over the last few years. Made using a mix of white wine vinegar and bicarbonate of soda this is where the 'red' colour originated from however a bit of modern food colouring brings them to life. And you can't have these without cool vanilla cream cheese to top.

You can't deny the colour is striking!
