Kelly’s Copycat Sprinkles Red Velvet Cupcake Recipe

I heart red velvet cupcakes.  When I stumbled across this recipe, I knew I had to try it. The only modification I made was to use less powdered sugar in the frosting, since I didn't care to enter a diabetic coma from 1 cupcake.  Of course, I suppose eating 3 cupcakes sort of negates that logic.  Ah well, can't win 'em all.  

Oh, and in the spirit of St. Valentine, I thought it would be cute to cut out strawberries shaped as hearts as a topper!
