RED VELVET MINI CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING |

STARTUP COOKING

Red Velvet Cupcakes – moist and fluffy red velvet cupcakes topped with a big scoop of cream cheese frosting are beyond delicious and so easy to make! I bake cake and cupcakes for special occasions, Yes, It’s time to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

For Perfect Cupcake – measure your ingredients correctly! adding too much flour to the recipe is the most common mistake. Do not over mix the batter! For light and fluffy cupcake, mix until just combined. White vinegar is a necessity when it comes to red velvet cake and cupcakes. The reason you use vinegar is because it make the cupcakes even more red! if you don’t have white vinegar replace with apple cider vinegar.

Red velvet cupcakes are a perfect dessert to make for Valentine’s Day, Anniversary, birthday and other celebrations.
