Decided to make violet velvet cupcakes just because I thought it had a really nice ring to it. ahha. These cupcakes are really soft and moist, and has a mild cocoa flavour- just like red velvets! Basically, they are red velvets, so if you want to make red velvets, just use 1 tablespoon of liquid red food colouring instead of the colours i used to get my purple coloured cupcakes. :) \r
