Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

[donotprint]Nothing says Happy Valentine’s Day more than red velvet cupcakes, don’t you think? I’ve had my eye on this recipe from Brown Eyed Baker for some time now, but hadn’t had a chance to try it out. Three words sum it up; IT WAS AWESOME! These are wonderful cupcakes with a truly red cake and moist, tender crumb. I will definitely be making them again!

And because I’ve been on a red candy melt kick lately, (check out what I did with some of the decorations, here) I made some decorations to go on top of these Valentine inspired cupcakes.  If you’re wanting to try this recipe, I would highly recommend it.  I have tried other recipes, but this one takes the cake…pun intended of course!

I decided to take some of the cupcakes to work, but because I have also been wanting to try red velvet ice cream, I selfishly stashed the extras in an airtight container and popped them in the freezer.  Childish, I know, but hey, I did share some of them!

So, if you’re looking for the perfect recipe for red velvet cupcakes, I would suggest giving these a try.  They were truly scrumptious![/donotprint]
