Phillie’s Red Velvet Cupcakes
 4/30/11 Today I am heading to Citizen’s Bank Park for some tailgatin’ and I’m bringing along these Red Velvet Cupcakes to show my team spirit. For this recipe I actually choose to use a box cake mix for one reason- I can’t bare to add the obscene amount of red food dye that it takes to make red velvet cake red. I mean… I know it’s already in the box mix but at least I don’t feel so responsible for adding all that afrtificial color! Anyway…. Go Phillies!!!
