Red Velvet



As I was driving to a bakery that I knew had Red Velvet cupcakes, I was reminded of many searches before to find them.  Red Velvet was not the little's favorite, but once a year they had to put up with it or go without. 
These cupcakes at this bakery were small.  Like the size you would make at home.  And so I got two.  And then when I got home I ate one.  And I was disappointed.  When you buy singles at a bakery you are paying a lot more than say a grocery store bakery.  So after eating that one I wished I had went to Larson's on the off chance they had Red Velvet.  Larson's was the last place I got one and it was divine. 
I don't know what the policy is at this bakery.  But I would swear that first cupcake was yesterday's cupcake.  The part exposed to air had a stiffness to it.  And the frosting was stiff also. 
After dinner, from Golden Tusk, I was watching a movie and decided to eat the other cupcake even though the first one was disappointing.  It was there....I had to eat it.  Well it was a totally different cupcake.  I would say that cupcake was fresh today.  No stiffness and the frosting had much more flavor.  Still not as good as Larson's, but pretty good.
