Red Velvet Cupcakes


This month I made red velvet cupcakes filled with chocolate fudge and a cream cheese frosting.  I also made the cute little free-form chocolate hearts on top of them as a garnish.  They were supposed to all stand up like the one in front, but alas, they all fell over!  I love these damask cupcake papers!  They were yummy delicious!  

Confession:  Red Velvet cake from a mix, frosting from a can, and the filling was a spoonful of hot fudge baked into the cupcake.  Nothing fancy, nothing from scratch!  And...they still were yummy delicious!  


Here is a bonus picture of the way I filled the cupcakes.  Erica told me I could spoon some store bought hot fudge on the cake batter and it would sink down in the cupcake during the baking.  It totally worked!  It was much easier than trying to fill the cupcakes after they were baked.  Thanks Erica!
