Red Velvet Cupcakes Topped with Heart Shaped Strawberries!

Happy Valentine's Day bloggers! I'm really excited about today's post because as most of you know, I have a serious obsession with cupcakes. Every year,  I make Valentine's Day cupcakes for my friends/co-workers. I love being creative with them so this year I found this awesome idea on Pinterest...Ahhh I love Pinterest....I am definitely not claiming it as my own, but I wanted to share with you all so you could also make these for your special someone, kids and friends.



Homemade Recipe

What you need:
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 bottle red food coloring
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 pack fresh strawberries
Cream cheese frosting
Toothpicks or Cupcake toppers

What to do:
Preheat oven 350 degrees. Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Put to the side.

Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until its well blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in sour cream, milk, food coloring, and vanilla.

Bake for 20 minutes. I cut the top of the strawberries to make them into hearts and then I pinned the strawberries on top with the cupcake topper!
 
Hope you all enjoy this little treat! Are any of you doing something this Valentine's Day?
