Love in the End...

Red Velvet Cupcakes
Cream Cheese Frosting
Dark Chocolate Mint Hearts

..So a couple of days ago, I found out that my place of work is getting liquidated.  That is not very good news to anyone, especially some of my coworkers who depend on this job for everything.    So Today was the first day the public started to find out about what was happening and constantly came in asking question about their beloved books being taken away from them.   I mean, I understand how they fell, I will also miss my books, but they don't seem to realize the workers will be losing a lot more...

During this first lovely day of questions with unknown answers, I worked 14.5 hours, quite a shift.   During my first break my co-worker came in the the break room and said, "You know what we need to make this better, Emily?"  "No, what's that?"  "We need some of your cupcakes and cookies, I know I told you to not bring them in (because he ate too many), but I don't know what that man was thinking."

So here I am baking at the wee hours of 3 o'clock in the morning.  At first I had no idea what to make, just thinking store bought, because everything is packed up, but I asked my co-worker what his favorite cupcake was, and he saws Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting.     One cupcake I have never made in my life, so I took advantage and here it is!  My first try at Red Velvet Cupcakes, cream cheese frosting, and added a dark-chocolate mint heart.    I think they turned out very well actually!   I'm even thinking next time to add mint into the batter or frosting.  I was unsure if the flavors would blend at first, but it worked beautifully!    The real judging will happen tomorrow when I take them to my coworkers to cheer them up!
