Oreo Red Velvet Cupcakes

Finally got to make Red velvet cupcakes, been thinking about making frosted cupcakes

for a long long time. I always have second thoughts about it because my husband is not really 

a cake/cupcake eater, that's one of the reason why I make lots of Cookies because that's his favorite, And I don't want to eat all of the dessert I make by myself. 

I told him I want to make a dessert and he said he doesn't care what it is. 

So I made these! 

It might not look perfect but I'm just so happy to say that I made this myself! 

And of course, I don't mind sharing the recipe with you. 

Let me know what you think!
