These cupcakes were divine! I'm not a huge fan of red velvet, but these were so moist and fluffy, and the cream cheese frosting was to die for. I'll definitely be making these again.

I made these cupcakes for my daughter's birthday party, and they were a huge success! The kids loved them, and the adults did too. They were easy to make, and they turned out beautifully.
