How to make ahead these Spooky Blood Velvet Cupcakes

You can make the red velvet muffins in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These will stay fresh for upto a week

You can even make these ahead of time and freeze them in an airtight container in the freezer for upto three weeks

I do not recommend making the cream cheese frosting in advance as it will get very tarty when stored. So its best to make it fresh right when you're ready to serve these.
