Hearts of Red Velvet

While watching the Grammy's last night I made these Red Velvet Mini Heart Cakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. I love baking Valentine's treats because they are so fun to decorate! These were going to be Red Velvet Heart shaped Whoopie Pies but halfway through I decided to just icing and decorate them instead. I hope you enjoy making these for your special someone or family! See you tomorrow!
