TOMORROW is Valentine’s Day!!!! Are you ready?! Apparently I am. We don’t do much around here for Vday but I do like to make stuff…food stuff for sure!
Since tomorrow’s the Big Vday I wanted to make my 3 yr old’s teachers some cupcakes. He has 8 teachers total (lots of therapy teachers). It was the easiest…no wait cheapest way out of getting a gift for all of them!
The Recipes
Remember those red velvet cupcakes I made in January….remember when I said I usually use a box mix. Well….box mix no more…sorta…kinda, ok it still uses the box but it’s easy people! Tidy Mom has the best cupcake recipe EVER!!! Wow oh wow do I mean EVER!!!

I used this frosting recipe. It’s very similar to Wilton’s buttercream frosting and tastes just as good! I found it a little easier to make. I used Wilton’s pink and red red to get the pretty colors.
The making
I made 24 red velvet and 24 chocolate fudge…..oh so yummy cupcakes! I’m not sure if you can tell but in this picture the chocolate cupcakes on the left are larger than the ones on the right….they have a treat baked inside!!
I filled the cupcake liners with the batter and in 12 I added an unwrapped hershey kiss! All you do is push it down in the mix! Bake as normal! However when you do the toothpick test do not stick it in the center of the cupcake. For a cute look I added an unwrapped heart dove chocolate to the red velvet cupcakes, so simple and just adds a little more yumm! These are the best homemade cupcake i’ve EVER had! Seriously, it is! I hope you try these!
And here they are all boxed up and ready to go!
