Red Velvet Cupcakes
Red Velvet Cupcakes are moist and delicious! They are easy to prepare and always seem to be a big hit at parties. I see red velvet cupcakes all the time in the cupcake stores and on restaurant menus.
So I decided to give this a try and make some at home! These cupcakes would be perfect for Valentine’s Day! Best of all they are affordable to make and my husband loved them.
For the frosting I used my recipe ==> Homemade Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting. Did you know that you can freeze cream cheese? It works great and saves money! I like to purchase cream cheese in bulk on sale and stockpile it for recipes. Check out this post Can You Freeze Cream Cheese to find out how! This is a great money saving tip.
These Red Velvet Cupcakes are too die for! So moist and delicious! They are perfect for Valentine’s Day and Christmas!!
