Dainty, glazed pink velvet cupcakes are just right for tea parties, baby showers, and bridal showers but don't wait for a special occasion to make them. Flavored with white chocolate and almond, they have a velvety texture and an unforgettable taste.

Several years ago I created a pink velvet cake that I thought was to-die-for. I've made it as a layer cake but had never made it in an individual size until this past weekend -- and I was blown away. I made a few tweaks to the original and baked them in cannelle pans. I have to tell you that I adore these cannelle pans! My husband got them for me for Christmas last year and I have used them for cupcakes and muffins several times. One of these days I'll use them for cannelles!

Pink velvet cupcakes are tender and sweet with a delicate white chocolate almond flavor. Perfect for baby or bridal showers! From RestlessChipotle.com

Anyway, the cupcake comes out with a small, round indentation on top that is perfect for filling with jam or ganache. Add a quick glaze and you're good to go -- no need for frosting because it would just cover up the cuteness! I think that these would be so perfect for baby showers. You could easily switch the pink food coloring for blue, or mint green, or yellow. I'd probably use a white chocolate ganache in the top if I used a different color though.

When the kids were younger and I homeschooled we used to have tea in the afternoon. At about 2:30 we'd put up whatever we were working on, sit at the table, and listen to classical music while we talked about a variety of things. Money was tight but I'd buy several different loose leaf teas so that the kids could experience different flavors and wouldn't immediately associate the word tea with little bags of pekoe. We'd have some small snack, as fancy as I had time for and I'd usually have one of them help me prepare the food and tea. It was great one on one time. We practiced our best manners, too. To this day my kids love all kinds of tea and it's a fond memory for all of us. It's one of those things that I just can't make time for anymore and I miss it so much.

These small cannelle molds are made of silicone and the cakes slip right out so easily you won't believe it. I love mine and I use them for a variety of muffins and cakes. You can get them on Amazon -

The recipe makes 16 Cannelle shapes cakes or about 12 cupcakes. If you make regular cupcakes a cream cheese frosting is really good.
