Treats for Valentines Day


... and now abideth faith, hope and LOVE, but the greatest of these is

LOVE.

I Corinthians 13:13




Are you ready for Valentines Day?

I think I am.

This year I decided to make cupcakes for our neighbors.

I have never done this before {not for this many at once}  and I decided it was time to

spread the love!

There is so much heartache and brokenness in the world today that a little kindness

goes a long way.

 I have been making cupcakes for the last two days and enjoying every minute of it.


I packaged them up and delivered part of them last night and hubby delivered the rest today.


I always try to keep cupcake boxes on hand. The ones I purchase hold four cupcakes so it is a perfect
gift for two people. 


It is also nice to have these cupcake holders for a single person.

I don't have a specific "recipe" that I use. I just wing it.

SO...

Make your favorite chocolate cupcake and let them cool.

Then make your favorite butter-cream frosting and add in a couple tablespoons of
Smucker's Simply Fruit in seedless Red Raspberry flavor.

It makes it so yummy and  it also gives the frosting a pretty pink hue.

Next, take a chocolate candy bar and use your carrot peeler to make some
sprinkles or curls...Top with a fresh red raspberry and wa la...you are done
and you have a beautiful and delicious gift!

SO YUMMY!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Cupcakes & Sprinkles ~

I thought I had my post all done for today and then I made these cupcakes for Valentines gifts and wanted to share them with you. They turned out sooooo yummy! I used a Duncan Hines french vanilla cake mix and baked the cupcakes . When they were cool I took out a small "plug" of cake in the center and filled it with seedless red raspberry jam, frosted them with buttercream frosting and added *PINK SPRINKLES*. They are quite addictive if I don't say so myself! Enjoy~
I picked up these cupcake boxes on clearance months ago because I just knew I would find a use for them someday. They are perfect for my Valentine cupcakes~
I had to add a couple packets of wonderful European hot cocoa ~
My wish for you this Valentines Day is to have more love than your heart can possibly hold until it is about to burst ~ Blessings!
