Any suggestions on how to get that good red color WITHOUT using ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS or colorings? Maybe a hint of beet juice, raspberry juice, etc?

Same for the chocolate frosting that sounds great, but unfortunately uses Ovaltine. I’d like to stay away from manufactured, highly-processed, or artificial ingredients. Any tips for a more healthy frosting?

Thanks - I love reading this blog and the great tips.

I just found your blog via Baked Perfection and was so excited about this recipe. I’ve been looking for a delicious Red Velvet for awhile now and these look spectacular with the brown sugar frosting. I’ll be trying tomorrow! I love your blog and will be back for more goodies!

I can’t wait to try this recipe. My red velvet cupcakes always look so angry (dark red/almost burgundy). This recipe is just in time for 4th of July! Quick question: what type/size tip are you using to frost your cupcakes?

thanks for a great recipe. I made these over the weekend then delivered most to the neighbors, everyone loved them. Hubby will be both sad & glad that he missed them.

The cupcakes are gorgeous - I so prefer red velvet in cupcake form than cake form.

You’re right - Judy is gorgeous.

So there’s no cocoa powder used in these cupcakes? I thought that was a requirement of red velvet cupcakes, no?
