Mmm sounds good, thanks for posting! I will give it a try!
I ran out of time to make this, I ended up looking at the southern living.com and found red velvet cupcakes with peppermint frosting, they turned out really good. I still want to make this cake though! Thanks for posting it.
Your cupcakes sound really good. I'ld love to try them too. Do you have a link to them you could post here in the comment section?

Sorry this took me so long - with the holiday's things were busy. For the cupcakes I only used one bottle of food coloring and it was just fine. I hope you enjoy. I also crushed candycanes to sprinkle on top right before I served. If it is done too soon the sugar melts and runs.
