Red Food Colouring - Red Velvet Cupcakes

I’ve ranted on this blog about how Dr. Oekter red food colouring actually makes Red Velvet Cakes brown but have recently found out that I unfairly blamed him (is there a ‘him', was there ever?)! Natural red food colouring in the UK goes brown when baked due to EU regulations and for a period of time that was the only type you could get. However Dr. Oekter now does a red gel (I guess they've had time to experiment) that is 'bake stable' and stays red. Yay! So don't use anything 'natural' and check out a 'bake stable' one.

I did bake this week but made meringues, which I have made before. I’ve updated my recipe though as I think my ones I made this week were better than the previous ones.
