Red Velvet Cupcakes

Made another batch of cupcakes, this time red velvet and actually used a recipe I found on Foodnetwork. OH MY GOD, can I go back to being blissfully ignorant? As it turned out the so-called cream cheese frosting is made up of TWO pounds of cream cheese, TWO pounds of butter, AND FOUR cups of sugar!! The only ingredient that will not lead to a slow and gradual death is arguably the 1 tea spoon of vanilla extract! Now I know that slight yellow color in the frosting are straight from the butter. After I made them I couldn't bring myself to eat them at all, though Hubby said they were really good. Can probably half the sugar and decrease some butter next time... maybe look for a "healthier" recipe? :S

I had Hubby took some to work today, I've seen the size of his colleagues ("average" by US standard). If any of them drop from a heart attack three years down the line, is it manslaughter? :O Maybe I should just stick with muffins going forward. :(
