From Marketwatch: Red Velvet Cupcakery is opening in the heart of Tucson near the University of Arizona, introducing the city to its delicious gourmet cupcakes. Red Velvet will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, September 19 by offering complimentary cupcakes from 11am to 3pm. Red Velvet’s owner, Bonnie Gordon, a professor at Central Arizona College says, “Often visiting Los Angeles and NYC, I developed a love for gourmet cupcakes that satisfied my sweet tooth and took me back to my mother’s kitchen. When my son, Aaron, made a splash opening the original Red Velvet Cupcakery in downtown Washington, DC, I decided I would love to have my own shop in a unique, vibrant area of Tucson.”… Red Velvet cupcakes include: morning call – chocolate espresso cake with mocha butter cream; devil’s food – chocolate-buttermilk cake with bittersweet chocolate ganache; peanut butter cup – chocolate chocolate-chip cake with salted peanut butter frosting; and southern belle – red velvet cake with whipped cream cheese frosting.
