You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, To the end that my tongue and my heart and everything glorious within me may SING praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever. Psalm 30:11-12

Red Velvet Valentine's
Josiah handed these out to his basketball team last night. I think these are much better than folded Spider Man Valentine cards! :) And today I am making more for Ava Beth's Dance class tomorrow. The ones I am doing for her will be the same recipe but decorated different. Can't wait!
I LOVE CUPCAKES!
This one is for you Nonny!

You made my day!!!! Thanks for that!! Wanted to ask you, I notice you always bake your cupcakes in plain liners but then sit them in the decorated ones....Tell me your reasoning!!
I knew you would like that!!!
Well, I learned that trick a couple of years ago. It just looks so much better. I seriously buy the white liners every time I go to the store and buy the fun ones anytime I can find unique ones. I am addicted to buying cupcake liners! :)
It looks so much better when you do that! Don't you think?? :)
Absolutely, it looks better! Just wondered if you did it just for looks! I like it because when you bake in the cute ones, you lose a lot of the cuteness!!! I had never thought of this before until I saw yours!!!
Yep!!! That's why i do it!!!! It's funny because people always comment on my cupcakes regarding the liners!! :)
well dang, i like how you get the icing on so smoothly! what's your trick there?! so excited for you - few more days!!!!
I love that idea with the liners! I pipe my icing like this straight from a baggie. Is that what you do? I love some good buttercream but regular store-bought actually looks good too!
I bet you were a huge hit at basketball! That is way better than the typical juice bag and bag of cheez-its ;)
Enjoy your week leading up to the big day!
Duncan Hines Red Velvet Cake mix
(My friend who is a PROFESSIONAL wedding cake, cookie, cupcake maker says the red velevt cake mix is as good as the real thing and I totally agree!!)
Icing is homemade butter cream.
For these I used a ziplock bag. I will never spread icing on cupcakes again. NEVER! :) This is too much fun but you have to double your buttercream recioe because it uses a lot more icing.
:)
You have inspired me to bake today......and to do a fun Valentine's breakfast, even though my kids are in high school : )
I too noticed the liners...hope to find some today!
