Steps
1
Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
2
In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, eggs, cocoa and food color with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about two-thirds full). Bake as directed on box for cupcakes. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
3
In large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter with electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth; beat in vanilla. On low speed, beat in powdered sugar until frosting is smooth and creamy.
4
Fit a decorating bag with 1/2-inch round piping tip. Spoon about 1 1/4 cups frosting into bag. Insert tip in center of 1 cupcake, about halfway down. Gently squeeze about 1 tablespoon frosting into cupcake, pulling upwards until cupcake swells slightly and filling comes to the top. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
5
Fit another decorating bag with a medium star tip. Spoon remaining frosting into bag; pipe decorative swirl on top of each cupcake. Sprinkle with colored sugar. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Devil's Food Cake Mix can also be used for these dark red velvet cupcakes, just omit the cocoa.
To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrappers and place on microwavable plate. Microwave uncovered on High about 20 seconds or just until softened.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
Use 2 tubs Betty Crocker™ Whipped Fluffy White Frosting or Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting instead of the scratch frosting.
For a different look, use the same decorating bag and round piping tip to pipe swirls of frosting on tops of cupcakes.
This festive holiday cupcake could be sprinkled with crushed peppermint candies instead of the colored sugars.
