It was only a few years ago that I first tried Red Velvet Cupcakes and I was in love from the first time. I don’t know if it’s the cupcake, or the cream cheese frosting, but I love them. You know what, it’s probably the perfect combination of both of them. I had never made homemade red velvet cupcakes before until last week and let me tell you, these were the best red velvet cupcakes I’ve ever tasted. My mom had this recipe in her recipe book of family recipes so I was so excited to try it out!

Now that school is out for summer, I lack places to send my excess sweets to. Since my brother and his girlfriend were coming through town last weekend I decided it was the perfect time to make these cupcakes. My brother’s girlfriend loves sweets and makes some pretty great treats herself. I was happy to be able to share these with everyone and send the extras to her and her family.

This was my first time using an icing tip and bags for cupcake icing and I was incredibly surprised and pleased with the outcome. They looked so cute and it was so much easier than I thought. So if you’ve never tried before just pick up a kit and it’s quite easy!

    My husband is from South Carolina and his two favorite desserts are Pecan Pie and Red Velvet Cake. I have got the pie down and have been wanting a good red velvet cake recipe. Cupcakes are even better! I’m pinning this so I can surprise him for his birthday.
