The Story:

My question: “Girls watch romantic comedies and bash on all their ex boyfriends.  But what do guys do on Valentine’s Day if they don’t have dates?”

His answer: “We sit at home watching ESPN and talk about how awesome we are.”

Now I know.

  1. Is there any way I can do your cupcakes Gluten-Free? I’m GF and your cupcakes look so delicious!

  2. I am so making these! I just put all the ingredients on my shopping list. I love that you use cake mixes! You’re amazing! <3

  3. YES!!! This is why I do cake mixes, because gluten free cake mixes work with the recipes too! If you can’t find a red velvet GF mix, use a white mix, add a little cocoa and a lot of red dye!

  5. This looks soooo yummy! I already put all of the ingredients on my shopping list! My family is GF too and my mom has been craving red velvet! I’m so excited to make this for her! I have a question…. The Super Bowl you know is coming up and my family wants me to make cupcakes, what cupcakes do you think would knock their socks off? 🙂

  6. Well you can always do a fun football cupcake like a hostess and piped like football threads, google it… Or you do my Butterfinger Cupcakes, those are AWESOME! Or my recent chocolate cake batter cupcakes!

  8. these look divine!!! i’m definitely going to make these 🙂 & that font is adorable! what is it called?

  9. My fiance would say the exact same thing – he’s convinced of his awesomeness. 🙂

  12. Looks wonderful!! Am I correct in assuming I need to buy two boxes of red velvet cake mix or am I taking a half cup from one box, to go towards the frosting?

  15. Hi Lizzy! Your cupcakes are really gorgeous and so easy to make. I’m just wondering, if I wont use red velvet cake mix for my frosting, what will I use as substitute? Thank you 🙂

  16. It was be an exact substitution because then you have to decide if you want to make a RV cake batter frosting (which is what is is using the mix) or if you just want a RV frosting. The latter is easier, so add just a little bit of cocoa powder and lots of red dye!

  17. these cupcakes look delious! I can’t wait to make them. Thank you for all your lovely recipes. I can’t remember how I found your site but I am so happy I did. I love getting new recipes in my email.

  18. Hi! I am just wondering if this recipe is adapted to the new cake mix sizes. I know they used to be 18 ounces, but recently just were changed to 15 ounces. Thank you! 🙂

  20. This was a 2D piping tip, though I did use a knife to spread the spokes just a little further apart

  21. Hey! Your cupcakes are so awesome! 🙂 I’m just wondering, coz we don’t have red velvet cake mixes where I live, so I usually make them from scratch, what can I use to substitute the RV Cake mix in the frosting? Thanks! 🙂

  22. Nice post. I learn something new and challenging
    on websites I stumbleupon everyday. It will always be exciting to read
    articles from other authors and use a little something from other sites.
