Red Velvet

Dress - Pussycat, Socks - Topshop, Shoes - Office, Headband - What Katy Did Next
I do apologise for my recent slacking. I've got no excuse really, other than my boyfriend has been busy studying for his medical finals which means I am sans photographer. I've been dying to wear this socks and dress combo for about a week now and becasuse I like it so much, I really wanted to have some sort of photographic evidence! So this is my attempt at a decent outfit shot using the tripod in the kitchen (I'm too scared to take pictures outside on my own!). Not the best, but I think you get the gist.
Oh, and these socks are amazing! So comfy, and the don't fall down - pulling up socks (and tights) is just the bane of my life. But these are so great, I'm even considering going back to buy another pair... or three.
I made some more cupcakes over the weekend using a recipe from Eat Me. They are supposed to be Red Velvet, but there is nothing red about them! I think the problem may have been that the cocoa I used was too dark, but even so I'm not sure I will bake these again, or at least not with this recipe. I've never tried a Red Velvet cupcake before so it may be that I just made a mistake, but they had a strange texture and were denser than normal cupcakes. If anybody knows of a better Red Velvet recipe then please do point me in the right direction, as I'd love to know what they're really supposed to be like.

Here's a recipe for Red Velvet Cupcakes. I haven't tried it myself, though.

I LOVE those socks! And the fact that you dont have to keep pulling them up makes them even more appealing!
ReplyDeleteThose cupcakes look amazing! I love the magic stars on top :)
The recipe in the hummingbird bakery cookbook is quite good. It's hard to get them really red, it's best to use a gel paste colour because it doesn't make the cake batter runnier then.
ReplyDeletephwoarr. I love the outfit .
ReplyDeleteThe dress is so nice !
And don't even get me started on the cupcakes, just looking at them makes my mouth water :)
wow love the white socks! they really add something to the look! & those cupcakes! omnomnom! i made red velvet before but used food colouring to colour it! like helen said, gel colouring is good!
ReplyDeleteHope your interview went well! I love those socks.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend loves red velvet cupcakes and his birthday's in a week and a half, so I'll definitely be giving them a try sometime soon. When I've had shop-made versions the cream cheese frosting always overpowers the actual cupcake (not a bad thing, really).
those cupcakes looks so yummy! :D
ReplyDeleteI love the babydoll dress and knee socks! Such a cute print. Cupcakes are the best! They look so pretty even if they didn't turn out how you wanted.
