Just one little candy heart turns seemingly plain cupcakes into a perfect Valentine’s Day treat.
The flower design was added inspiration, but we actually prefer the minimalist approach—heart only—for its elegant simplicity. Head to the bakery and buy some cupcakes. Head to the candy store and grab some themed candy. If you only have a supermarket at hand, decorate with red or pink sprinkles and top the sprinkles with a chocolate kiss. You might not have time to bake these double lemon cupcakes today, but they are simply splendid: a lemon cupcake topped with lemon cream cheese frosting. Get the lemon cupcake recipe from BellaBaker.com, and put it on your “To Bake” list. Because we’re crazy for lemon curd (and all things lemon), we turned the recipe into Triple Lemon Cupcakes: |

THE REAL RED VELVET And now for that all-American favorite, red velvet cupcakes. Bella Baker herself, Lauryn Cohen, makes them as they should be: with beets, not red food color. We find that most red velvet cake is bland: all color, no flavor. If you, too, don’t understand what all the fuss is about, bake a recipe that uses beets. Here’s Bella Baker’s red velvet cupcake recipe. THE NIBBLE wishes you a Valentine’s Day filled with love—and some great things to eat. |
