After our dinner at Cinnamon on the Park, we all went back to our place and Juji and Jay stayed the night. The next morning, we remembered the red velvet cupcakes Juji had made the day before – she’d brought half a dozen cupcakes with her!
They were red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing.
I’d never eaten red velvet cake before. I liked it! It doesn’t just taste good, I love the red colour!
After a cupcake to start the day, Juji and I made breakfast. She fried the sausages and put on the toast while I made scrambled eggs, poured the juice and set the table. Jac may have crawled out of bed at this point.
There were two kinds of sausage – pork sausages and the last of a mystery continental sausage we found in the freezer. Juji just sliced it up and fried it in the same pan with the pork sausages. We had leftover pancakes in the fridge, but I was the only one who wanted pancakes. So I had sausages, scrambled eggs, pancakes and maple syrup. A few people have commented or emailed and said the pancakes look like crepes. Well, crepes, hotcakes, flapjacks, pikelets, blintzes (there are many more!), they’re all varieties of pancakes. And yes, the pancake Jac makes are a thinner crepe-style pancake.
As we sat eating on the patio I thought I heard a little noise near the fence. It was that naughty Pixel playing in the garden bed. See her? :)

The cupcakes are beautiful. But sorry, I dislike red velvet cake.
Breakfast looks awesome, especially your plate!
And yep — I see Pixel. What a cutie. :-D
I love red velvet anything. I’ve seen some very creative things this holiday, such as cupcakes like yours (looks yummy by the way) or even trifle using this delicious creation. Mummm…wonder how you’d make red velvet crepes.
Thanks for sharing!
Red velvet ftw.
I’ve never seen/eaten a red velvet cake before! Just googled it to find out why it’s so red :P Sure hope I’ll get a chance to try one :D
i’ve never tried red velvet cake before but i’ve always thought the red colour is stunning! i’d like to try some though, especially if it comes with cream cheese icing, which i really love. :)
ooh and yes i see a little furry black bum sticking out of the bushes. pixel is so cute. :)
Mmmmmm, yes, red velvet anything is really quite delicious, I must agree. Extra cocoa powder is a must!
I made red velvet cake balls today…they didn’t turn out that tasty unfortunately, but they’re wrapped in chocolate so they’re still more than edible.
Where I live we don’t really have good red velvet cake available. We have a wee one at work and it’s amazing.
Those look so good.
