tasty tuesday: red velvet mini doughnuts

Well, I hope you're not quite sick of seeing Valentine's Day themed baking around here...but I promise this is the last recipe you'll see from us (for this year at least).  I made these last year when I was felt like doing something classic, but with a twist.  Thus, red velvet mini baked doughnuts were born!
