Frosting
Frosting a cupcake is not only fun, but also a creative way to make unique cute cupcakes. Use food dye to color some of your frosting red. Play with the red and white frosting, or even make chocolate frosting as well, to decorate your cupcake tops. Make a cream cheese frosting for an alternative topping which is not quite as sweet as traditional frosting recipes.
Blood Theme
Prepare the red velvet cupcakes for a festive Halloween party by dripping red food dye onto the tops of white-frosted cupcakes. This will create the illusion of blood. This is also a cute idea for "Twilight" or vampire-themed parties. There are "Twilight"-themed cupcake toppers available online. Use miniature figures to decorate the cupcake tops, or simply write R.I.P. in red food dye on the tops.
Valentine's Theme
Use red and pink sprinkles to decorate the tops of cupcakes. Use red food dye to create shades of pink in your frosting bases. Place candied hearts on top or sugar candy flowers for a sweet touch. Any red, pink or white candies and sprinkles can be used to decorate.
Wrappers
Cupcake liners come in a variety of prints, themes and sizes. Choose liners with cute images that correspond with the theme of the party or event where you are serving the red velvet cupcakes. For a little girl's birthday party or a tea party, cupcake wrappers with tiny flowers printed on it are a cute touch. People will appreciate the appearance and then the delicious taste of the red velvet cupcakes.
