Red Velvet Cheesecake Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for work and barely got them out of the house as the kids and hubby tried to eat them all first!  Really a great cupcake. I used a bag to “pipe” in the cheesecake center and it made a great cheesecake core.  The cheesecake did fall in the center as they cooled but I made up for that with a little extra frosting!

These Red Velvet Cheesecake Cupcakes are perfect for any event, holiday, or party. Homemade red velvet cupcakes are filled with cheesecake and topped with cream cheese frosting. They're so good and you can't eat just one!
