All the drama of our award-winning Midnight Red Velvet Cake, in a single perfect bite. Our Midnight Red Velvet Cupcake is a rich red velvet sponge topped with a swirl of striking black cocoa buttercream — deep, dark, and beautifully balanced. Bold to look at and even better to eat, made fresh to order by our award-winning Melbourne team.
The red velvet sponge is moist, tender, and subtly cocoa-rich — the classic flavour done properly. On top sits a generous swirl of black cocoa buttercream, its dramatic dark colour a striking contrast against the red crumb. The black cocoa brings a deeper, almost smoky chocolate note that sets this apart from an ordinary red velvet — it's the same distinctive combination that made our Midnight Red Velvet Cake a favourite, now in cupcake form.
Every cupcake that leaves our kitchen is held to the same standard as the cakes that earned us Gold, Silver, and Bronze at the 2026 BAA Victorian Baking Show — competing against every bakery in Victoria, for the third consecutive year. Made using premium ingredients, with no compromise on taste, texture, or finish.
Yes — this cupcake is the single-serve version of our award-winning Midnight Red Velvet Cake, with the same red velvet sponge and signature black cocoa buttercream.
