I’ll take any excuse to whip up some cupcakes, and Valentine’s day is one of my favourite times to do so. Although your feeds have probably been jam-packed with pancakes galore today, I couldn’t miss out on sharing these wonderful cupcakes. If you’re looking for a last-minute way to show some love or fancy treating yourself this Valentine’s day then look no further than these yummy red velvet cupcakes.
I did cheat a little with these ones and used a box mix from Betty Crocker. However, I was shocked a how fluffy and delicious these turned out that I couldn’t not share them over here. There’s no baking skills required, just a few eggs and oil and you’ll have cupcakes in no time.
To recreate these cupcakes you’ll need:
- Betty Crocker Red Velvet Cake Box Mix
- Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Style Icing
- Muffin Tin
- Cupcake Cases
- Pink Food Colouring for icing (optional)
- Desired Toppings – I chose sprinkles and marbled hearts (optional)
these look amazing! i’ve never tried red velvet but i’ve heard it’s really good!x
Thank you lovely! If you like chocolate cakes then you’ll like red velvet as it’s only red chocolate x
My mouth is drooling looking at these photos! I wouldn’t have been able to eat them because they’re so pretty, though! Loving the lighting and props you used too.
Ahh I’m so glad you love the photos and cakes! I used different lighting for these photos so I’m glad you like the different setup! x
I LOVE red velvet cake so much! I haven’t had it in so long but I need to make them again soon. These look lovely and your photos are gorgeous too!
