I have never had anything red velvet ever! After seeing so much hype on the lovely cakes, cupcakes and pretty batters, I decided this is what hubby was getting for a special breakfast this Valentine's Day! To our surprise they were quite different than any other flavor we have tried in the past. Not exactly sure even how to describe the taste but really good. I added some black red cherries, a little cream cheese and they were the perfect sweetness.You can use any cookie cutter shapes but I thought hearts were the perfect touch! Enjoy.
