Valentine’s Day Cupcakes With a Candy Heart Inside
Valentine’s Day cupcakes I made last year…
A friend asked me over the holidays if I received her invitation to Pinterest. I told her I did but hadn’t had time to sit down and figure it out. The thought of one more thing to do was overwhelming. I still hadn’t mastered Twitter and between Facebook, this blog, and getting MYSTIC ready for another edit, I felt I had enough on my plate. Then one morning the mood hit and I decided to see what my friend was raving about. Oh my! I sat there glued to my computer for two hours creating boards, pinning recipes, and connecting with people near and far. I was hooked. “Pinterest yet?” is my new motto.
I saw and pinned a picture of one of the most beautiful Valentine’s cupcakes I had ever seen. Take a peek here.
Not long after I found another cupcake recipe that looked delicious and easy. Easy is key for me. Take another peek here.
I decided to combine the two recipes and finally try my sweet heart idea. It worked! Sort of. I have ideas for my next try and I’ll pass them on to you. For now, this is my masterpiece.

If I were to try this recipe again…
- I would use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter instead of using toothpicks to poke out a heart.
- I would use the brownie recipe from my last cupcake post.
- Along with that brownie recipe I would try a strawberry cake mix (boxed) and dark chocolate icing. …. But that’s just me.
