Hi Ruth
Thank you for your comment. This is a recipe from The Hummingbird book and their icing can be terribly sweet. I rather like it but it’s not necessarily to everybody’s taste.
Hopefully the added cream cheese did the trick and you didn’t have a wasted batch.
Hope to hear from you again soon.

Hi Ruth Sorry for the delay getting back to you.
I have to admit I didn’t taste Lotties red velvet cupcakes, but I can vouch for her skills. If they were way too sweet for you, we really apologise, but I guess it’s a matter of taste. Lottie does have a sweet tooth, but she’s also good at following a recipe, so it must have been in the original. All the best to you and sorry if you were not happy with the results.

I just made the icing for these and it is horrendously aweet. I have to add loads more cream cheese just to save throwing the whol lot away. 300gm sugar works out to 1 oz per cupcake. Far far too sweet

Lady P, I may have a little something special for you next week!

Hi Daisypicker, Thank you… I hadn’t made these before and they were a roaring success. So, in answer to your question, I’ve only tasted them made with buttermilk so clearly the cake can be a hit either way.

Your cup cakes look yummy!!! I actually made a red velvet cake last weekend with my father using this recipe http://www.howcast.com/videos/139827-How-To-Make-Red-Velvet-Cake ,but I used normal milk instead of butter milk, do you think there is a huge difference? The cake was still moist and tasted amazing but I think I want to try making cup cakes next time with butter milk.
