I have been on a lookout for healthier version recipes of baked goods.
Most of us have a “sweet tooth”, which needs to be satisfied from time to time, so we strive to accomplish this without too much guilt, and try healthier recipes.

The Red Velvet Cupcakes recipe originated from a website I visit frequently, however I modified it slightly to fit the mini cupcakes I was making, to cut down on the total fat and calories per serving.
The dough for cream puffs is rather simple, but the preparation technique is interesting, since it requires cooking of some of the dough ingredients, before turning them into the actual dough for baking.
