Red Velvet Cupcakes That WERK!

Are you seeing these cupcakes, people?? Yes, these are red velvet cupcakes. But they're not just any red velvet. First of all, they were made with sour cream. Indulgent? You bet your sweet ass. But wait, it gets better...They've also been layered with a sweetened cream cheese layer, creating a gorgeous ring effect:

No, there's no frosting, which may be breaking one of my cardinal rules, but these suckers look moist and rich enough, they don't even need it. 

Like so many drag queens after a long night of lip-syncing, this cupcake has removed all superfluous decor, undressing before you and teasing you with it's creamy cheesecake layer and fresh-from-the-oven joie de vivre! I have one thing to say: You better WERK:

Sashay, Shaun-cake!!

When Bad Cupcakes Happen to Good People

Yes, the weather has been of melting proportions, but c'mon Red Velvet!! Melty chocolate icing running down pristine white shelves like so much excrement in a dirty diaper is not how you woo the customers. And let's face it, you need all the help you can get.
