Red velvet cake is a southern treat. There is nothing better than delicious cake smothered in cream cheese icing.

Here are some of the best red velvet cupcake recipes around along with a made from scratch cream cheese icing recipe.

Red Velvet Cupcakes - A Hot Wedding Trend

Did you know that red velvet cupcakes are one of the hottest trends in weddings today? Me neither. The moist, red interior of the cupcake coupled with a rich frosting is a real show stopper for wedding guests. The great thing about wedding cupcakes is that you can bake them yourself or get a local baker to make a one-of-a-kind treat for your big day. Many brides also use cupcakes as the wedding favor for their guests to take home with them (in little specially made personalized cupcake favor boxes).

It's yummy but I'd have to make mine from scratch with the original non-cream cheese icing.
