Yes, I know Valentine’s Day was 4 days ago….but I was busy playing Cupid and never got the chance to post the pictures of my 2013 Valentine’s Commemorative Treats. Instead, I spent the day giving them out, and helping make others’ Valentine’s Day a little more special. I can totally get into this Cupid thing.
Cupid, draw back your bow…
Anyway,I had been having so much fun dipping cookies in chocolate, that I decided to keep the fun going with some cupcakes. So, the night before Valentine’s Day, I whipped up a batch of pound cake cupcakes, and because it was a special occasion, even added a little something extra to the batter…
liquid love.
I baked these little love gems, and allowed them to cool completely.
and it begins.
Once cooled, I dipped the tops of them in melted chocolate, dipping half of them in red…
red, the color of desire.
…and half of them in pink.
think pink.
I topped each with a conversation heart, and hand delivered them to folks the next day as my personal “Valentines.” I had really wanted to give out Valentines this year anyway, and was going to have cards made up, however converting desserts into Valentines seemed like a much better way to truly spread the love. And who doesn’t love a cupcake?

Jeanine, you might single-handedly bring back the true spirit of valentines (as opposed to the Halmark version) with this type of post and endeavor (cupcakes made with some love).. Reminds me of Charlie Brown’s Christmas, where CB shows everyone the true meaning of Christmas.with his humble little tree
