All you need: Cupcake pan 2 mixing bowls 2 whisks 1 box red velvet cake mix (and respective ingredients) 1 box white cake mix (and respective ingredients) 1 box of food coloring Vanilla frosting
And my secret weapon: Wilton Two-Tone Cupcake Insert
Preheat your oven to 350F. Line your cupcake pan with baking cups. Next, place the two-tone cupcake inserts over your cupcake pan. Set aside.
In one mixing bowl, follow the directions on making the red velvet cake mix. Set aside with the whisk used to mix the red velvet batter. Next, in another mixing bowl with another whisk, follow the directions on making the white cake mix. MAKE SURE TO KEEP THE WHISKS SEPARATE.
Gently pour the white cake batter on the exterior of the cupcake inserts until just below the top of the baking cup. If you're uncomfortable with using a pouring cup, you can use a very small spoon.
Next, pour the red velvet cake batter into the interior of the cupcake inserts until just below the top of the baking cup. You can use another small spoon (not the same one used for the white cake batter) or you can use an icing bag/tool to pour in the batter.
Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Use a cake tester or a toothpick and stick in into the middle of the cupcake. If it comes out clean, it is done. Let them cool (My trick is I put the cupcake pan in the freezer or refrigerator to cool quicker).
Take out the yellow food coloring from the food coloring box. Color the vanilla icing with the yellow coloring.
Decorate the tops of the cupcakes with the yellow icing. Decorate with stars or edible glitter.
If you cut your cupcakes in half (or just bite right into it), you should see your red velvet red carpet right in the middle! You're ready for your Oscar party!

Hi Alyssa! I’d like to say that your blog is amazing and ask you if I don’t find your “secret weapon”, the Two-tone cupcake insert, is there another easy way to put the two colors in a cupcake??
