Red velvet cupcakes

I think I have found the best recipe for red velvet cupcakes. I followed Nigella's and it worked without a hitch! its a must try. Have I told you I love her?

I did everything the same except for the icing. I mixed the butter and cream cheese with my mixer till fluffy then added the icing sugar in 3 parts. 

And I thought to pretty it up more I watched a video in how to make icing roses, it wasn't as difficult as i thought it would be. :)

Did you know the hunt I went through to get the red gel food colouring? it tourns out there is a place not too far from me that specialises is icing colouring stuff, Sugar Smith. You should have seen the relief on my face when I found the place, seriously everywhere else was sold out of red.
