Red Velvet Cupcake inspired by Georgetown Cupcakes

I have a confession. I've never actually eaten a Georgetown Cupcake, but when I needed a gift for a friend halfway around the world, a dozen Georgetown Cupcakes delivered to her front door was my go-to choice. Their signature cupcake – classic red velvet cupcake with a vanilla cream cheese frosting topped with a red fondant heart has become instantly recognizable and helped to launch the cupcake craze.
