Valentine’s Day Cupcakes

My son had his first school Valentine’s Day Party today. He is in Pre-K. Since I didn’t have an opportunity to do anything for his Christmas party, I made sure that I could do something for Valentine’s Day.

I found some heart-shaped baking cups and decided to make cupcakes. I used the chocolate cake recipe off the Hersheys Cocoa Powder container for the cake. It is the best cake recipe I have found. It is very moist and fluffy. The icing is a buttercream frosting which I dyed red (of course). I can’t remember what the sizes where, but I used Wilton decorating tips for the decorations. Here is a picture of the finished product:

It was one of the best Valentine’s Days I ever had because of how proud he was of the cupcakes. He told everyone in his class, more than once, that his mommy made the cupcakes. He also told me that they were the best ones he had ever had in his whole life!
