My husband made a very disturbing confession this week.
He doesn't like red velvet cake!!
*stunned silence*
I thought I knew this man!
You can imagine my distress at this revelation.

We may have to go to therapy to get past it.
In the meantime, the kids and I will enjoy these Hidden Heart Red Velvet Cupcakes.
The frosting heart inside the cupcake is a fun surprise
and they make a great Valentine's Day treat!
What You Will Need:
Red Velvet Cupcakes with tops cut off
small heart cookie cutter
cream cheese frosting
confectioners' sugar in a sifter
Center your heart cookie cutter on the cupcake and press down.
Use a spoon to scoop out the cake inside the heart.
Eat the cake scraps.
Fill the heart cavity with cream cheese frosting.
(You can fill a ziploc bag with frosting and snip off the corner.)
Trace your heart cookie cutter on a piece of paper.
Cut out the paper heart and center it on a cupcake top.
Use a sifter to sprinkle powdered sugar over the cupcake top.
Carefully remove the paper heart.
Place the tops back on your cupcakes and enjoy!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks a bunch, Marilyn! :)
DeleteI love the idea of having a shape to fill the cupcake, and the heart makes them super festive! Definitely going to try these!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderfull!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea :)
Woah, love this idea and it's super cute but you can't make cupcakes out of your red velvet bundt cake recipe. I've made that cake several times ( and LOVE it btw) and the cup cake that you bake with it to make the garnish always comes out flat and crispy. No biggie when making the cake I just take the top off and crumble the rest for the garnish but I dont think it'll work for straight up cupcakes. Do you have a different recipe for the cupcakes?
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, so simple but so effective!
