These are no ordinary red velvet cup cakes! Yes - I know that look that way from the outside, but you guys know me...I can't resist adding a little something to everything! SO these got the Rafaello treatment. Have you ever had a Raffaello chocolate? Ok - think Ferrero Rocher, but in white with coconut. Yip! They are totally divine! And red and white is just so merry!
I had a little helper for these, my sweet little niece Olivia. She helped me unwrap the Raffaellos and push them into the cupcake mixture.
See that t shirt she is wearing? Cool hey. Ok - I know you can't see the whole thing, but it is a really rad logo that belongs to a very good cause - The Sabrina Love Foundation. If you have a moment, go and check them out! They also have a REALLY cool range of clothing that they sell online! I just love their colours!
Anyhoo...
Livi did such a good job! Thanks Liv xxx
To make these I used a red velvet cake recipe (yes really!!!) from Bakerella and just baked them for about 18 minutes. I also added about 1/2 C of coconut to the one batch which was really awesome! I will really do that again!
I used I am Baker's best cream cheese frosting for these. It really is the best! So smooth and sweet. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!
What are you baking for the holiday season?

Absolutely delightful. Those little heart sprinkles are so cute and lovely peak of frosting on top is so cheerful. Love these, good job indeed!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Raffaellos!! I always loved it when my family friends gift us with a small of those of them. My sisters and I used to fight for every single one.
ReplyDeleteNow, adding these to red velvet cupcakes is an adorable idea. You`re right, the color definitely matches the holiday season.
For this holiday season I`m planning on baking lots of cookies!
These are absolutely the cutest cupcakes ever!! I love the coconut balls in the middle and the frosting on top couldn't be more perfect! Love them!! Your niece is so adorable too. I can't wait for Avery to be old enough to help me bake :D
