Measurement Clarification

Before you try any of my recipes I feel I should clarify one thing. When it comes to measurements in tsp or tbsp I don't use an exact tsp or tbsp measurement. I use a literal silverware tablespoon full or literal silverware teaspoon full. What does this all mean? Each tablespoon or teaspoon is closer to double if you're measuring an exact tablespoon or teaspoon.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

Mmm.....there's nothing like delicious red velvet cupcakes. You may get bored of them, you may move on to more exotic things like carrot and cream filled cupcakes but eventually you'll be back for a red velvet.

These red velvet cupcakes are delicious and moist. They're easy to whip up and before you can run to Sprinkles cupcakes (have you seen the lines?) and back these will be ready to eat.
