Top three cupcakes from the last few weeks

Its been a veryyy busy last few weeks!
I have been a Baking fool! I told my self I wasn't taking anymore orders for the month of May but I couldn't say no! I am actually really glad I didn't they all turned out really well and I'm getting my practice in!

Now on to the Top 3 Cupcakes:
Red Velvet
First, I made Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese frosting for University of Nebraska- Nursing program- They requested the red velvets to coincide with the school colors and they wanted an N for Nebraska on top. Easy peezy... or so I thought.. I had a baking nightmare this night when making them-- First batch came out perfect! then I tried to cut the recipe in half to just make a dozen and they came out tasting like corn bread.. ( when this happens usually there is too much baking soda)
So I remade them again checking my measurements to make sure I did everything exactly half.. I sure did! yet again corn bread.. By this time it was midnight.. I was tired and cranky and wanted to go to bed.. so I said forget it.. went to walmart bought a boxed mix and left..
I doctored it up the best i could.. got them out of the oven.. they were AWFULLLL!!! Hints why I never used boxes... Lesson learned..
I went back to walmart again bought more sour cream to remake the original recipe again
This time I didnt cut them in half.. just made another 2 dozen
They came out perfect! 

 
Next up:
 German Chocolate Cupcakes
 
Story behind this one- I had a woman call me and request cupcakes for her son's 39th Birthday
She said he wasnt a sweet eater but everyone else absolutely loved german chocolate!
Boy was she in luck! I had a great recipe for German chocolate cupcakes
I am not a coconut fan but these turned out tremendous!
The chocolate buttercream was literally good enough to bathe in!
 
 
Last but not least:
 
White chocolate Raspberry cupcakes
I ended up making 7 dozen of these cupcakes
2- dozen for a nursing students graduation
4-dozen for a bridal shower
1-dozen for my mama for mothers day
 
These were veryyy good and they were all so satisfied with the outcome
The nursing students are pictured below
She absolutely loved them!
I could not get a very good picture of them at the time as my phone was completey covered in powdered sugar and the pictures kept coming out blurry!
 
Thanks for looking :)
