Valentine's Day Goodies for someone special :)

I stole this idea from Meganheartsmakeup on YouTube, I'll link her video so you can see a step by step visual of how to make these pretty rose cupcakes!
Ingredients needed:
Cupcake mix (eggs, oil, and water per directions)
Icing--any kind, I used vanilla. Strawberry would be pretty too!
Baking cups
Nonstick spray (like PAM)
A muffin/cupcake tin
Fruit roll ups in red and green at least, yellow if you want yellow roses too
Optional-Sprinkles
Optional-Red jelly hearts







 Mix the cupcake mix according to the directions. Fill baking cups about 2/3 full---not too full or they'll expand too much while cooking!
 To make the roses, you need fruit roll ups or fruit by the foot. Cut a one inch strip and roll it up to make the center. Then cut out petal shapes and adhere to the rolled center. Watch Megan's video to get a more detailed explanation!


The final product will look like this!
 Since the roses are tedious and time consuming, I alternated them with cherry jelly hearts.


 You can spread the frosting on with a knife, or put it in a sandwich bag, cut a small hole in the corner, and pipe the icing on. It looks so pretty!

 I hope my sweetheart enjoys them!
I also made cookies. No secret here though, just buy Pilsbury pre-made sugar cookies and pop them in the oven. The heart tray was only $1.50 at Wal-mart! To make the cookie sandwiches (the ones at the top of the tray), put icing between two sugar cookies and adhere. Roll the sides in sprinkles. Super easy and cute!


Thanks for reading.
