Red Velvet Cupcakes

I saw these cupcakes on Real Mom Kitchen today and had to try them. The only problem I had is that I did not have a "Red Velvet" Cake Mix in my pantry. I opted for a devils food mix and the results were phenomenal. These cupcakes were moist and the icing was almost too good to be true. I topped mine with sprinkles. I am making these for a Valentines party using the listed ingredients!!! Did I mention how yummy they were?
