I made 2 different types of cupcakes, because I just couldn't decide! I thought about doing red velvet, but decided against it because I wanted to try a new chocolate recipe and they're very similar. Then I found a recipe for pink velvet cupcakes and had to try it {really, all it is is a pink vanilla cupcake in case you're wondering}.
I wanted a much lighter pink, but went a little crazy with the food coloring. All the recipes I found for red velvet called for 3 tablespoons...so I thought I'll start with 1/2 teaspoon and go from there. Well, as you can see in the picture above, it was too much for what I wanted. Oh well!
Then I tried a new chocolate recipe...although I put my own twist on it. It calls for sour cream, and since I have issues with that ingredient, I used buttermilk instead. Then I added another ingredient: chocolate fudge instant pudding mix.
To say these cupcakes are moist is a understatement. Almost too much, but still so yummy!
Then I made these chocolate pretzel thingys {Pinterest inspired for sure!}.
And the widely loved sugar cookie {which is not Pinterest inspired, but step-grandma inspired}.
And this is what my family and friends got...
Happy Valentine's Day! <3
