Salted Caramel Red Velvet Cupcakes

Salted Caramel Red Velvet Cupcakes are the perfect treat for your next party. The whipped cream cheese frosting is irresistible with mini chocolate chips and my homemade salted caramel really takes these cupcakes to the next level. Easy recipe that will stun your guests. 

INDULGENT is the word for these cupcakes. They are OVER the top. Totally not on the diet plan. But let's be honest here, screw the diet plan and make these cupcakes. Probably one of my all time favorite cupcakes. Starts off with a box so the recipe is nice and easy.

So yesterday I spent the day shopping in Sydney and had two great surprises.

First off there is a LADUREE in Sydney!! How I didn't know about this is beyond me!! But boy am I happy we stumbled upon it. I ordered a box of course, even though I was full to the brim with Thai Food & Max Brenner. I ordered 2 Salted Caramel, Vanilla, Coffee, Coffee Chocolate, Apple, Lemon & Praline. Unfortunately, I haven't eaten any yet because it's not even 7 am and I've already had a few Crunchie Chocolate Balls. Chocolate is my weakness what can I say.

Anyways back to my second surprise. My sister and I were at Max Brenner (Surprise, Surprise) and we spotted Giulianna Rancic. Being E News avid watchers we were excited. Living in So Cal we often see celebrities but never go up to them. But we were on the escalator behind Giuliana so I said hi and she asked me how I was! She totally looks the same in person as she does on TV.
