Happy Valentine's Day! Red Velvet Love Cupcakes
I had a little bit of extra Red Velvet batter when I made an order for mini's recently, Â so I decided to dress up a full size cupcakes for Valentine's Day.
First, I used my favorite red and white liners from Sutton Gourmet Paper that owner Kellie sent me. Â Seriously, these make any red and white cupcake so much more beautiful. Â They hold their color so well... I just love them!
Second, I filled those awesome liners with my recipe for Red Velvet cake... which, I think I've pretty much perfected.
Third, I topped them with a simple cream cheese and vanilla bean frosting.
Finally, I added the cutest red heart sprinkles... making these the perfect Valentine treat!
Here's to wishing all of my fantastic readers a very
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!Â
Please know how much I love each and every one of you and truly am thankful for your love and support over the years!
