Published: December 5, 2016

Red velvet cupcakes are a festive sweet for the holiday season.  Nothing is quite as good as a moist, faintly chocolaty cake with homemade cream cheese frosting slathered over the top.  This recipe comes from Ava's Cupcakes, a bakery in New Jersey that specializes in holiday treats.  In addition to their signature red velvet cupcake, they are also offering chocolate peppermint melting spoons, a hot chocolate cream punk cake and a vanilla and buttercream melted snowman cake. What do you like to bake during the holiday season?
