One Sweet MoFo isn't your mother's candy shoppe. No, sir. One Sweet MoFo's target audience is ages PG-13 to "age is a state of mind" and everyone in between. Complete with Gelato bar and cupcakery, One Sweet MoFo serves all your rock-n sweet tooth needs. With gelato desserts such as M.I.L.F. chocolate, B.A.M.F. strawberry, S.undae T.F.U., and F*ing Farlow White vanilla, there's an option for the whole family. Meanwhile, the cupcakery offers only top shelf selections such as Mint Julep, Patient Patron, Whiskey Makes the Medicine Go Down, Kahlua Slide, and other alcohol infused treats. The exception is on the Day of Rest when we can enjoy Sunday Brunch-themed cupcakes including: QuicheCakes, Pancake cupcakes, Mimosas (champagne cupcake with orange frosting), Apple Crisps cupcakes, and Cinna-Cup Cakes with icing.
Inspired by my dream candy store, I have decided to build my new weekly feature around the cupcakery and create a new cupcake each week. I will share the recipe, my trials and tribulations in the kitchen, and pictures of the process.
This week I started with the most popular cupcake flavor in the continental U.S. red velvet. I won't be sharing a recipe this week because I made it from a cupcake mix my mom gifted me for Christmas.
Instead of focusing on the mix,
I practiced getting the proper proportions of a cupcake,
examined how bake time affected them,
and perfected my icing application.
Add the final touch: sprinkles. And, voila!
After making enough batter for 18 cupcakes and winding up with only 12 slightly burnt muffin-top cupcakes, I now know I need to fill the paper cups up only 2/3 full. My icing did get better though.
Since I used a red velvet mix, I am lacking a good recipe. So if you have a tasty red velvet recipe you would like to share with me, feel free to post below!!
