Valentine Cupcakes!


Well, it's a few weeks later, but these are the cupcakes I made for Valentine's Day. I used a yellow cake recipe, added a little bit of red food coloring to tint them pink, and then frosted them with chocolate icing. I then put a sweetheart candy in the center of each, and surrounded it with a circle of Valentine M & M's.
