Valentine’s Day Cupcakes

Valentine's Day Cupcakes

    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!
