"Faux"stess Cupcakes

I made these pretty shiny little glorious cupcakes in honor of a classic favorite: "Hostess" Cupcakes.

But since they aren't what you buy in a little box in the grocery aisle..
let's call them "Fauxtess" (pronounced Foe-stess, as in hmm umm.. my Amanda Cupcake version of hostess cupcakes?)

I am always such a fan of shiny beautiful chocolate ganache glaze.
And the pretty loopy frosting curls. ♥ it.

I added my classic Amanda Cupcake edible sparkles to some of them ♥
You can't buy these in the grocery store!

Sparkly dreamy filling.

Shared the flavor with my hair stylist and his friends at the Jacques Dessange salon.
A few of them said this was the best cupcake they have ever eaten. Yay!

Divalicious Red Velvet Cupcakes!

Divalicious Red Velvet Cupcakes..

Because they are naturally beautiful...

They know how delicious they are..

Accessorized with a hint of edible disco dust

Kissable red licorice (..and yes, red licorice is known to be an aphrodisiac!)

The divalicious cupcakes are in demand.

Roll out the red carpet.

Showing off!

Some hints for a Divalicious Red Velvet Cupcake:

Whatever you do, don't overbake! A Divalicious Red Velvet Cupcake is moist and divine.
Top it with a light & airy frosting, preferably cool whip based.  Divas don't like to feel bloated.
The divalicious red velvet cupcake looks best with classic white frosting, and a little red accessory.

Perhaps, dahling......
Red Licorice! Red Maraschino Cherries! Red Sparkles! Red Hots! Red Hearts! Red Sprinkles. Red Candy Jewels. A Red Ring Pop.  Whatever looks best....

Kind of like the perfect red lipstick. ♥
