CUPCAKES WITH A HIDDEN KISS INSIDE

BE MY VALENTINE!!!

How many ways can I say I love you? Nothing say’s I love you like a kiss.  Imagine taking a bite of a innocent looking cupcake and inside is a surprise kiss!! These are simple to make and kids love them as well. I made these cupcakes for my Sunday School Class yesterday and they really enjoyed them. The recipes I used are an old  plain jane cake and icing… . nothing fancy.. Sometimes your old favorites are the best hits.
