Thank you for being so understanding. You're going to hear about the tazmanian devil at the post office in Tarpon Springs tomorrow
Opened my valentine from beautiful Potatovixen. Apparently she never spoke to Alifunn about my cooking :rofl:. I got this beautiful heart shaped box with all the fixins to make red velvet cupcakes, including spatulas with hearts on them.

It's beautiful.
What followed wasn't so beautiful

In my box was a bottle of red food dye and part of the instructions was to make a paste with the cocoa and the red dye. Well it seemed to take the whole bottle of dye to make a paste so in it went, at least part of it.

The rest went all over me and the kitchen

. I didn't have the buttermilk so thank heaven for mom who suggested sour cream and then saw me struggling and making a mess and decided to help. We finally got the mix into the little cups and it's cooking now. they looked beautiful so I pulled them out of the oven and once again mom came to the rescue and stuck a broom bristle in one and announced that they weren't cooked.

How did she know to do that???
So back into the oven. More to come.
Thank you potatovixen for this sink or swim cooking lesson :rofl:

I love it!
