Valentine’s Day is coming up in a couple of weeks, and being that us Disney Foodies like to bring some Disney goodies home, why not make the Red Velvet Cheesecake Cupcakes at Hollywood Studios!! They are fabulous, RED for the season, and remind us of our awesome Disney trips! Some members were talking about Disney Desserts, and a lot of you mentioned these cupcakes, so I thought I’d share the recipe!
