Today, I copied the Red Velvet cupcake recipe from Magnolia Bakery. The Red Velvet cupcake I ate at Magnolia Bakery a while ago was delicious, so I found the recipe in the Magnolia Cookbook and made it.

These cupcakes are soft and sweet combined with the creamy white cream on the top and look even more, particularly due to the red velvet color.
