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.)

Aren't these cupcakes gorgeous? I love the way Marlo & team sculpt the frosting - it definitely gives them one up on the competition.
The Crimson & Red flavor is also the best. The "Sweet Revenge," peanut butter cake and frosting with a chocolate ganache center was a bit too dry. Crimson & Red: quite perfect.
