Christmas Cupcake Recipe
Celebrate your holiday with something sweet and satisfying to your tummy. Cupcakes are a great way to monitor your portion sizes. They are also fun to make with family and friends. Be creative as you want this Christmas by decorating these delightful little treats for Santa. This red velvet and vanilla cupcake recipe is quick and easy to follow.
Ingredients:
- 1 box of your favorite vanilla cake mix
- 1 box of your favorite red velvet cake mix
- 2 cans of your favorite pre made vanilla frosting
- Green and red sprinkles or bite sized candies (optional)
- Green food coloring
- Eggs
- Water
- Vegetable oil
- A cupcake baking pan
- Spatula or butter knife
- Red velvet and vanilla cupcakes recipe
1. Preheat the oven to 350
2.Mix the the two box cake recipes separately, according to the instructions on the package.
3. After completing the box instructions, mix in 2-3 drops of the green food coloring in your vanilla cake mix.
4. Lightly grease your cupcake pan with vegetable oil.
5. Spoon the mixtures into the pan, separately (half of the cupcakes should be all vanilla and the other half should be all red velvet). Each cupcake compartment should be 3/4 of the way filled with cake mix.
6. Bake the cupcakes as long as the package suggests.
7. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool for 15 minutes.
8. After the cupcakes have fully cooled, carefully remove them from the pan.
9. Cut the cupcakes horizontally into thirds.
10. Layer the cupcakes by alternating colors. You can hold them together by slathering on a thin layer of icing between each layer. For example (bottom layer: red cake. Icing. Middle layer: green cake. Icing. Top layer: red cake) there should only be three layers to this cupcake.
11. After layering, spread a generous amount of icing on top of the cupcake. Move your spatula or butter knife in a slow wave motion to create a design.
12. Sprinkle the candies or sprinkles onto the frosting.
13. Enjoy!
MAC Cosmetics Presents...
Remember the days as a kid when we used to love Archie comics? Well MAC Cosmetics has revealed a new limited edition collection that features our favorite characters Betty and Veronica on a number of different items. The items are available in two color palettes lighter shades for the Betty's in all of us or darker for us who are more like Veronica. In a press release for the collection, the company said: 'Betty and Veronica - the names alone are a vivid four-color flashback to an era of sweet, comic book innocence."
How to achieve a Faux Bob!
To create this look:
1. Apply volumizing spray to wet hair at the roots then blow dry.
2. On dry hair, curl 1-inch sections of hair, starting from the back, using a 1 or 1 1/2-inch curling iron, while working your way to the front of your hair. Key: the more curls the better
3. After curling your hair apply a dime sized amount of shine serum to your hair and run your fingers through the hair to loosen the curls.
4. At the end of your hair, tie a hair elastic and roll the hair under the elastic, tucking hair towards the nape of your neck. Spread the hair evenly in a horizontal direction creating a bob. Leave sides of hair out to further create the illusion of the bob.
6. Secure with bobby pins and apply an even coat of hairspray.
Do Nude Your Way!
The red carpet was shining bright with stars and their dashing fashions at the Golden Globes. One of our favorite trends was the fresh take on nude; some of our favorite ladies remixed it with printed patterns, sparkling embellishments, and romantic lace. Let these looks inspire your next nude ensemble! We also cannot forget about the hair. Kerry Washington was a stand out with her modern fringe, while Halle and J.Lo rocked a great color combo!
