Foodie Friday - #4 (a day late)

For Evan's 4th birthday party, I kept the menu pretty simple. We ordered fried chicken, ribs, and cole slaw from a local barbecue place, Nick's Ribs, and I made baked beans in the crock pot as an additional side dish. Instead of a cake, I ordered a Toy Story cupcake stand from Wilton.com and made red velvet cupcakes.

I've made these several times and they're always a big hit!

Red Velvet Cupcakes

These were REALLY good. The cupcake part was moist, and the frosting was not too sweet. I kept the extras in the fridge so we were able to enjoy the rest of them for several days after the party.
