Red Velvet

So what is your favorite cupcake then?

And what is your favorite cupcake that you bake all the time at home?

I honestly can’t choose one because I love them all.

Chocolate, vanilla, raspberry, strawberry… While I was browsing through lots of food blogs, one thought hit me. I also hadn’t thought of red velvet cupcakes!

And it makes sense for Valentine’s day, that deep red color.

Perfect!

Valentine Cupcakes Decorating Ideas

So what is the cupcake topping or frosting that you use the most?

Buttercream, chocolate perhaps?

I like to go for something safe and easy. Nothing too complicated or difficult or me because I am not a dessert queen. And that is what I find here in my Valentine cupcakes decorating ideas ideas below!

These are some easy and safe but cute cupcake decorations and useful ideas.

You would forget how cute and posh one single strawberry on white frosting looks!

Chocolate Shapes

Making chocolate shapes or words isn’t too hard either.

I have tried it before and it really works. Plus it also looks spectacular, don’t you think. I have tried it before a few times and it is true, my cupcakes in the end looked absolutely smashing.

So this year for our Valentine’s day dessert I am not going for the classic tiramisu, even though both the hubs and I love that Italian classic dessert to bits. No, because I want to get out of my comfort zone this time and make a couple of gorgeous looking treats thanks to the Valentine cupcakes decorating ideas ideas that I list below!

Are you in for a little kitchen experiment?
