Instructions

  1. Prepare the red velvet cake mix based on the cupcake instructions using the red cupcake liners and allow the cupcakes to cool completely at room temperature.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and butter until combined and smooth.
  3. Then slowly add in the confectioners’ sugar (1 cup at a time) on low speed until well combined.
  4. Then stir in the vanilla extract and milk until combined. Then add a few drops of the green food coloring until the frosting is a bright green color (like the color of the grinch).
  5. Then use a 1M piping tip and a decorator’s bag, fill it with the green frosting.
  6. Gently frosting each cupcake.  You want to slowly build up the frosting on top of the cupcake using a circular motion.
  7. Then place a red heart on the top of each cupcake.
  8. Then the cupcakes are ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store the leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. 
  • Make sure to add the sprinkles immediately after you frosting the cupcakes as they will not stick if the frosting has already fully set.
