Red Velvet Cupcakes and Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting

So I love cake (mostly milk chocolate)!  I love getting a black and white cupcake from Sprinkles or a red velvet cupcake from Red Jett Sweets.  But they are both far from me and I just can’t drop everything and drive to Dallas or Fort Worth.  So since I do like to bake I decided to make cupcakes this past Sunday.

I like to keep it simple when it comes to baking.  If I’m making a cake/cupcakes I usually use a box mix and make the frosting.  Why make it difficult and time consuming when you just want a dessert!  You can still make it look fantastic!  I used a Duncan Hines red velvet cake mix and made 24 scrumdidillyumptious cupcakes.  I used this frosting recipe.  It’s yummy but it doesn’t taste like Sprinkles to me…but that’s ok.  I don’t really like frosting anyway so I’m not a good judge when it comes to that, lol!!.
