Every year my husband surprises me with something special on Valentines day, so this time I decided to give a sweet treat to him and my little one. Fortunately I got chance to give them a surprise, both of them went out for grocery shopping. So took advantage of this opportunity and baked these red velvet cupcakes for my Valentines.
Both of them Enjoyed these soft and delicious cupcakes so thought of sharing this quick recipe. This time I did not get time to take photos of all the steps as I had limited time. Next time I will be more elaborate.
