I'm posting a fun Valentine cupcake recipe that my granddaughter and I are going to attempt to make this weekend. She loves to be a helper in the kitchen and this recipe and process will be a good fit for a toddlers attention span and ability. We will find some pretty bags and ribbons to package our cupcakes and share with friends and family.
To make the Love of God strawberry heart cupcakes you will need:
1. Any flavor cake mix. We may use red velvet or strawberry.
2. Large strawberries
3. Store bought white icing
4. 8 oz cream cheese
5.Vanilla extract
6.Cup cake liners
7. SPRINKLES
Prepare the the cake mix according to the directions and pour into the cup cake liners. Get the baking instructions from the box.
Spoon the icing into a bowl and add softened cream cheese and 2 tsp of vanilla.
When the cupcakes have cooled , cover the tops with the icing.
Add SPRINKLES!
Wash the berries and cut a "v" shape at the top to create a heart shape. Slice into about 3 pieces. Place one slice on each cupcake.
We are like the cupcakes. Pretty plain until sweeter, prettier things are added to us. God washes us clean in our baptism. He sprinkles His colorful love on us each day with His grace and mercy. He fills our heart with joy so that we can love others.
Make some Love of God cupcakes! Sprinkle some kindness and love on others. Share from your heart and hands.
"We love because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19
