Red Velvet Cupcakes

I've never made these before and I've wanted to for so long. The light and moist sponge, combined with the lovely smooth cream cheese icing makes for a delicious, velvety and easy to eat treat.
This recipe comes from The Hummingbird Bakery recipe book which is a divine book full of delicious treats from the famous bakery in London. On the top, for an extra zing I used my new Equagold cocoa nibs grinder (with chilli!). This is so much fun to use and can be used as a topping for any dessert or cupcake for a bit of excitement!




My talented friend Jude made us the most incredible Hummingbird cake on Tuesday which now has me addicted to cream cheese icing like never before!
