Today I made cupcakes for our valentine day “party” in the lounge during work this week.  I had no choice but to make them today because I work tomorrow and get off too late to be making cupcakes the night before.

I used Dunken Hines Red Velvet cake mix  and I made the cream Cheese frosting myself using the following recipe.

2- 8 oz packages of cream cheese

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 cups shifted confectioners sugar (10x)

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Mix in the vanilla, then gradually stir in the confectioners’ sugar. Store in the refrigerator after use.

I used my new cake decorator that I got for Christmas this year to decorate the cupcakes.
