I really needed a cupcake today and thanks to TJs, I was able to buy 4 not very red “Red Velvet” Cupcakes for $3.99. What a bargain! I ate two for lunch and I have another two reserved for tomorrow night when I watch the season finale of Survivor. On a side-note: these cupcakes are light and delicious on their own, but sinfully good a la mode.
If you like these distressed photo frames I made in Photoshop and you have access to the premium area, you can download them after the jump. There’s a total of eight HI Res frames — four heavily distressed and four lightly distressed . If you don’t have access to the premium area, check out this tutorial where you can learn how to make your own distressed or worn images.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy these roughed-up frames as much as I enjoyed my red velvet cupcakes. :)

Thanks for posting the tut – always good to know more! Thanks also for sharing the know how, so generous of you!
you know, i have yet to try a red velvet cupcake. i really need to change that!
Although I’m not really a sweet tooth, I have to say the cupcake looks delicious. :]
Yum – those cupcakes look delicious!
oh Katrina, you are SO awesome! thank you for these rad frames, they are super swell. and love how you’re mixing cupeycakes & Survivor – what better combo than that?! enjoy every bite and sight. cheers!
thanks, guys! :D
lynn: it’s going to be a 3 hour finale — i can HARDLY wait!
Oh cake…
and those frames are super cool!
Is red velvet cake any particular kind of cake? Or is it just plain vanilla with red coloring? I have always wondered!
Not sure if this is a *stupid* question, Do these goodies and their tutorials translate to photoshop 7 ?
Maybe they don’t look like red because they have so much red coloring? Like blood, they don’t look so red when you see them in bags at the hospital.
danielleorama: i use adobe photoshop cs3… sorry, i don’t know if these psd files are backwards compatible with PS 7. :(
pinkbow & lexie: you haven’t tried red velvet?!! oh, you’ve gotta — it’s essentially a very lite chocolate cake with red food coloring. apart from the pretty red, what makes it special is the cream cheese frosting.
hi jackie: this one is really brown. :)
You’re my kind of girl! I love a good red velvet cupcake. Actually, the local cupcake shop has the ABSOLUTE best southern red velvet cupcakes. Southern because it has a chocolate base, but boy is it divine…just like your awesome frames! Thanks again. I have to download them soon :)
thank you, Katrina! <3
Just downloaded these! Can’t wait to give them a try. The cupcakes look delicious. Thank you.
GAH! Those look so yummy! (Both the cupcakes AND the frames!)
Wish we had a TJ’s here, but I guess with Austin being the HQ of Whole Foods and all that’s why we don’t have one…heard rumors that maybe we’ll get one soon, tho. Whenever I go to SF I always try to make it to TJ’s so I can stock up on a few things. (I heart their packaging, too!)
I think I love you even more now knowing you like Survivor! Hah I cannot go a week without it :) …and I totally would’ve just eating all four cupcakes in one go, I am such a sucker for baking!
man. i’m at work…i could really use a red velvet cupcake right now!!! does it taste like a typical rv cupcake? i’m totally judging its darkness! haha
i love all of the things you’re creating katrina. the uppercase honeycomb textures are so lovely. someday i will learn how to use all of these! you will be my first resource :)
have a great weekend!
