My sister loves nothing more than red velvet cupcakes, and since her birthday is so close to Christmas I couldn’t resist whipping a batch of her favourites up for her! I used a Wilton 1M tip for the icing as well as red and green gel food colouring and some gold dust. I hand-made the sprinkles myself with fondant that I coloured red. In order to get an even more Christmasy feel I took the traditional cream cheese icing for red velvet cupcakes and added some peppermint flavour. She absolutely loved them! 🙂
