Sugar Rush: Red Velvet Raspberry Cupcakes at Sweet Revenge
Red velvet cakes are one thing, but how often do you see them with raspberries? This is like a red-red velvet cake—a super red velvet cake! And you can even have one with a glass of red wine considering it's from the cupcakery-bar Sweet Revenge, where cupcakes join a wine and beer list. Owner Marlo Scott wanted "sweet revenge" on her former corporate career when she dreamed up this concept for a boozy bakery. The raspberry red velvet cupcake goes by "Crimson and Red" and is $3.50. (A bit steep, but cheap cupcakes are sort of an oxymoron.)
