Red Velvet Cupcakes

Are not these adorable?  Did is not something you feel better when you eat your oat bran and is cute?  Well, it does not taste exactly like a small red velvet cake, but there as close as you will get and visually it can not even make a difference!  So I say, bring your mind to it!  I had a few rhubarb delivered home today, so they are next…
