1 box Duncan Hines Red Velvet Cake Mix

1 sm box white chocolate instant pudding

4 eggs

1/2 c. sour cream

1/2 c. buttermilk

1/3 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla

Hand mix all ingredients until incorporated, then mix on medium speed for 11/2 to 2 minutes. Do not over beat, as it makes the cake tough. Fill cupcake liners 1/2 -2/3 full (these fellas really get big) and bake @ 325 degrees for 15-20 min. until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely, then pipe with Cream Cheese Frosting. Garnish with red decorating sugar or a little red heart. (I found mine at the Sweet Shop)

            Cream Cheese Frosting

2 8oz pkgs cream cheese, softened

1 stick unsalted butter, softened

2 tsp vanilla

2 lb.bag powdered sugar

Cream butter and cream cheese together, then add vanilla and half of powdered sugar and mix well on med to med high speed. Mix in remaining powdered sugar until frosting is smooth and creamy. Frosting should be stiff enough to pipe and hold it's shape.
