The last few months have been a bit crazy for me, working full time, making lots of stuff for my etsy store, and oh yeah, taking care of those three kids.
We love Valentine's Day around here, lots of hearts and love, and in true Valentines Day tradition cake. Usually we use a heart-shaped cake pan that I've had longer than my oldest child, this year we broke with tradition and had cupcakes.
Super yummy, and yes, from a box, Cupcakes.
But not quite by the box directions
No eggs, no oil, no water.
Instead -
-twelve ounces of spiced apple cider
(a local orchard sells it cold pressed with all the spices added)
-one half cup salted mixed nuts
cook according to box directions until they look like this
When they cool melt two hershey bars in the microwave
(kitchen goddess that I am I used a paper cup for this task)
drizzle melted chocolate onto cooled cupcakes..
looking yummy, but not quite yummy enough
ooooh whipped cream. Now they're YUMMY!
Especially since my younger brother and his wife sent an edible arrangement as a gift.
Now that is love on a plate.
Hope your Valentines Day was as yummy and full of love as ours was.
