Sugar Pie Honey Bunch

The other day I bought a red velvet cupcake at a local bakery that I love. I wasn't too impressed with it, so I've been craving red velvet ever since. As I'm sure you are aware, red velvet is the most heavenly cake flavor. So, I went to the store and bought a cake mix.
When I got home and started making the batter I couldn't find the standard 8 inch cake pans I had intended to use. So, I compromised and made my own red velvet cupcakes!
I don't bake all that often, but when I do I always substitute the oil for applesauce. I don't think there is any noticeable taste difference and it saves a bunch of calories and makes the confections less greasy, always a plus in my book. I think they turned out great, alleviating me of my craving... for now.
