Make the red velvet cake into cupcakes according to instructions.

Frost with cream cheese frosting.

Using a toothpick or chopstick, make 2 bitemark holes in top of each cupcake.

Remove some of the cherry pie filling to a small bowel, leaving behind the cherries. Add food coloring and stir together.

Carefully use a spoon to make a line of cherry from each hole to the edge of the cupcake.
