Baking a Red Velvet Cupcake recipe is easier than it looks, and we love these vibrant little cakes topped with a luscious cream cheese frosting. The cake base is a chocolatey sponge made with bright red food colouring to give it that gorgeous rich red shade!
Our Carnation Red Velvet Cupcakes recipe is easy to bake and you can top the cakes with your favourite sprinkles, a few red cake crumbs and red edible glitter to add even more decorations.
