Red Velvet Holiday Bridal Shower Cupcake

For the bride who loves a classic luxe style and whose shower is taking place during a "red" holiday season such as Christmas or Valentine's Day.

I originally styled these cupcakes for a Valentine's Day article but thought they would be gorgeous as bridal shower treats for a pre-nuptial affair with a holiday flair!

Heart Cupcake How-to:

Step 1: Bake a batch of Red Velvet cupcakes in baking cups and ice them with white frosting.

Step 2: Make a pattern for the cupcake wrap by wrapping white paper (or cardstock) around the cupcake and trimming it to fit.

Step 3: Place the cupcake wrap pattern on red-flocked or holiday paper, trace it, and cut it out. (I used paper from a holiday collection in a book by the company, me & my BIG ideas.)

Step 4: The heart rhinestone is actually a brad, which I simply inserted into the front of the wrap and secured the prongs in the back. But, you could use a rhinestone sticker or similar embellishment to adorn the wrap.

Step 5: Wrap the cupcake with the holiday paper and use tape to keep it closed.
