Most of the ingredients were purchased at a store, like the red velvet cake mix for instance. Make sure to check the box’s instructions for materials you may need.
IT’S EASY:
1 Duncan Hines Red Velvet mix
Cream cheese icing
Cupcake tray
Cupcake liners
And if you want . . .
Spinkles
Glitter gel or squeeze-on icing
PROCEDURE:
The procedure is fairly simple. Follow the steps on the side of the cake box – mixing, whisking, stirring. I used a cookie scoop to get the right amount of cake mix to fill each cupcake spot on the tray.
Bake at 350 degrees. Check on the cupcakes every so often to see how they are rising. Don’t leave them in the oven any long than 15 minutes. Once out, allow them some time to cool. Dab on some icing and decorations to top them off.
