RED VELVET CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES

These Red Velvet Cream Cheese Cupcakes are PERFECT for any occasion! Birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, the 4th of July – if you’re craving red velvet you NEED these in your life.

I mean – homemade red velvet cake, filled with cheesecake, topped with cream cheese frosting? It doesn’t get any better!

The Fourth of July is coming up soon, which means it’s summer, which means it’s travel season.

I love to travel. I love to stay in hotels. And I’ve totally passed on that love to Jordan.

We don’t camp. Well, Jordan and Mel probably would. To be more specific, I don’t camp. That’s really a whole post all on it’s own, but the gist of it is, if I’m on vacay, I don’t want to work to set up my room. I don’t want to cook. I don’t want to be dirty. I want to sleep on a comfy bed.

So we stay in hotels.
