Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Holiday baking is in full swing folks!

And I’m extra excited to share today’s Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.

Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

These beauties are from my friend, Fanny Lam’s awesome new cookbook, Oh Sweet Day!

I came across Fanny a while back through her Instagram account.

If you’re not familiar, take a look see here. It doesn’t take much to get hooked on Fanny’s desserts.

Cakes, cupcakes, shortbread cookies, cheesecakes, cakepops, macarons, tartlets….ALL amazing!

Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Fanny is a wife and mother who realized her dream of creating her own home-based bakery. She’s especially busy during the holiday season when she bakes thousands of cookies for her Oh Sweet Day! Holiday Cookie Boxes.

Her recipes are not only impressive and delicious, but extremely approachable.

A Few Cook’s Notes for Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe:

The key to this recipe is the addition of the buttermilk. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make it homemade. Fanny recommends mixing one cup of milk with one tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir it together and let it sit for 5 minutes.

I sprinkled the top of my cupcakes with my favorite gold edible stars from Wilton. The link is HERE.

 

Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

I thought Fanny’s Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting would be perfect for the holidays this season. They’ve got that iconic gorgeous red color and they’re moist and fluffy with a hint of chocolate flavor. Then they’re topped with a cream cheese frosting that’s smooth, creamy and totally luscious!
