Valentine Cupcakes

Decorated cupcakes, cheater's style.

My poor beloved is getting two fancy chocolate bars and a
Valentine's card today.  I did not make
heart-shaped pancakes or a chocolate torte, but I saw a great idea for all of
us last-minute cheaters.  Not that
kind.  The cooking kind.  If you're a real cheater, you're going to
need a lot more than cupcakes.  I have a
book by Dede Wilson
filled with Cupcake recipes that look delicious, but one of them could be faked
with store-bought ingredients.  Even
though it's cheating, you'll still feel like you made something yourself.  Instructions follow.  If you want to make the real kind, you'll
have to buy the book.  Happy Valentine's Day.

Valentine Cupcakes

1. Buy chocolate
   cupcakes.  If you have time, you can make
   them from scratch.


2. Buy heart-shaped
   cookies.


3. Buy edible glitter
   in red, or mini icing in a tube that you can decorate with.


4. Push one cookie on
   top of each cupcake.


5. Use the red
   glitter or icing and draw X-rated stick figures on top of the cookie.  This can be just one naked stick figure, but
   if you're good with icing, you can make two of them doing something
   naughty.  Practice first.  Icing, I mean.


6. Serve with wine.
