Hidden Heart Red Velvet Cupcakes

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!

I share my recipes and tutorials at these fun link parties.
