Best Red Velvet Cupcakes Recipe
I love doing mini cupcakes. They are such an adorable addition to any party and if your eyes were bigger than your stomach and feeling full, then the mini cupcakes are the way to go. Because they are RED, they are perfect for Valentines Day, Christmas and even the 4th of July! Best part is that you can choose whatever icing or toppings that float your boat.
Vanilla icing, buttercream, creamed cheese and so on. Little toppings such as berries, sprinkles and so forth really add that extra holiday or party look. You can also customize these with different muffin liners for special occasions, there are just so many options.
These lil cupcakes came out so fluffy, I was quite surprised at how soft they were. Between using fresh ingredients (always better fresh) and the temperature and cooking time... it was the perfect combination.
Making these were so easy, it only took me about 10 minutes to measure and mix the ingredients. I knew I couldn't or shouldn't eat all of these, so as usual I shared. This time I shared them with my friend as Red Velvet is her all time favorite cake.
