No red velvet creation will ever be as memorable as the armadillo-shaped groom's cake in "Steel Magnolias," so all a girl can hope for is second. It was with this mindset that I tackled my friend from work's birthday request for red velvet cupcakes. I whipped up a batch from
Recipezaar, but instead of the frosting in the recipe, I made my own from a package of fat free cream cheese, about a tablespoon of skim milk, and all the confectioners sugar I had, so about three cups. The frosting was more of a glaze, which wasn't quuuuite on purpose, but in the end it made them a lot lighter. You know, so you could have seconds and thirds.
