Valentine's Day Cupcake Treats

This is going to be a tasty, fun, and cute cooking/craft project :)

Yesterday, I made red velvet cupcakes with a packet of cheesecake pudding added to the box mix (this is so important, it totally transforms the texture and taste of the final product) and now I am getting reading to make vanilla bean cheesecake frosting. I plan to add 10x sugar and use a generous amount of vanilla bean paste. Then I will divide the frosting into three equal portions and tint some pink, make some chocolate by adding cocoa powder, and leave some plain.

Then I will freeze all three to be used closer to Valentine's Day when I will be assembling Mason Jar Cupcake Treats. I will post pictures when I am done. I am so excited :)

  1. The mason jar treats are adorable and delicious! I made some straight up vanilla bean butter cream this morning to increase the variety combinations. Although the cheesecake frosting came out very nice, I am still a buttercream fan all the way :)
