We are two weeks away from the year’s most romantic holiday and I am already starting to feel all the love in the air. Not only do I like to celebrate the day with my sweetheart, AKA-Hubby, but I also enjoy making special treats for my boys so they will be reminded of how much they are loved.
When they were little, I used to make little gift baskets for them with little trinkets and sweets. Now that they are older, the way to their hearts is through their stomachs so I make sure that I bake their favorite desserts for them to enjoy.
This year, by special request, I am making cupcakes for Valentine’s Day. Ever since we had our kitchen remodeled last summer, they expect me to use our new oven and stove whenever they have a craving for a special meal or they have a sweet tooth. I’m starting to wonder if getting new appliances was a good idea after all!
Of course, I’m just kidding, I love baking and cooking for all my guys! The best part is that these Valentine’s Day cupcakes are so easy to make that even a super busy Working Mom like me has time to make them this Valentine’s Day. I’m sure your sweethearts will love them as much as mine will!
Valentine’s Day Cupcakes
- White cake mix (oil, eggs, water)
- Cherry frosting
- Conversation heart candies
- Decorating bag
- Cupcake liners
- In a large bowl, mix your cake mix with your eggs, oil and water as directed on the box.
- Once your batter is mixed fill your cupcake liners a little over halfway full and bake according to package directions.
- Let your cupcakes cool, fill a decorating bag with your cherry frosting and cut a small tip off the end of the bag.
- Frost your cupcakes with your decorating bag and press your candy hearts onto the frosted cupcakes starting at the outside and working your way in.
