Semi-homemade Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

September 22, 2014 by yana Leave a Comment

Cupcakes_01Red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.  Yum. Cupcakes_sidebysideWhen we brainstorming about dessert ideas for the Garden Party Bridal Shower we put together, our first thought was red velvet.  

The best part about these cupcakes, they are REALLY easy to make!  One box of white cake mix + red food coloring + sour cream = total deliciousness.  Whip up some homemade cream cheese frosting and you have yourself a tasty and beautiful dessert.  RedVelvet_TitlePicWe used two different red & white patterned cupcake liners and added a few sprinkles to each, and voila – the perfect dessert for a Southern garden party bridal shower.
