Red Velvet Recipes

Cupcakes are hot and so is Miami.

I topped off a dinner of conch, truffled polenta and Florida Pompano at Michy's restaurant with their Red Velvet Cupcake.

The cream cheese frosting under red sugar sprinkles sat high on the little cake. The tiny glass of milk served with the cupcake, intended to inject the experience with down-home irony, was unnecessary.

Michy's is on Biscayne Boulevard, next to a creepy motel. Don't park there.

You're not venturing down to Miami soon? You shy away from Bates-like motels? But you love red velvet you say? Then click here for a full-size version of the recipe at the left. Don't forget the cream cheese frosting. And the red sugar sprinkles.
