Hey all – Jamie Oliver has a mascarpone/cream cheese & lime frosting for a carrot cake in Jamie’s Dinners (I think) that is fantastic. I’m trying it on this, with orange zest instead.

I love red velvet anything, and am not ashamed to say it out loud! A little color is much needed in life, so don’t think about it too much, just enjoy.

Josephine – which baker? I’m from Boston! I like that idea!! Though, does it still have the tang the cream cheese gives?

A baker in Boston used Mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese. The consistantcy was smoother and not heavy at all. a lovely alternative.

[...] Red Velvet Cupcakes with Orange Zest – I had a fight with red velvet cupcakes two nights ago. I had dreams of making delicious ones. Ones like this. It’s not that my version didn’t taste okay, but they looked like a trainwreck. And we all know that we eat first with the eyes! (@ Sassy Radish) [...]

Lisa – 30?? That’s tremendous :) Well done! So glad to hear about the ooh’s and aaah’s. I think this might be my go-to red-velvet recipe now. I will play with color though – see if I can get natural colors instead of artificial ones.

Thanks for such a wonderful recipe! My husband’s family makes red velvet cake with 7 minute frosting, but I much prefer cream cheese frosting…a definite improvement in my book.

This weekend, I made these little delights for a bake sale held during my daughter’s elementary school play…I even piped on the frosting as you did, since I though it looked lovely (though somehow I ended up with 30 cupcakes). The cupcakes sold out very quickly, with lots of oohs & ahhs! I’ll definitely be making them again.

Dana – my texture was really nice and creamy, not thick at all. I think that should you find it too dense, you might want to add a spoonful of milk and mix – and see?

Red velvet cake/cupcakes definitely get me right in the junk food Achilles’ heel. I like the idea of the orange zest, orange does go so well with cream cheese anything (at least for me).

What was the texture of your icing like? I often find cream cheese icings to be too dense. Though I suppose the use of the milk would help.
