In case you’re running late and need a last minute printable valentine I found this free printable cupcake valentine on The Sweetest Occasion.

Happy Valentine’s Day!  According to Perez Hilton, Hilary Duff picked up some Crumbs cupcakes to celebrate Valentine’s Day! I hope your Valentine’s Day includes love and cupcakes!

My sister and I have a weird love of cute monsters.  If she was home I would definitely make her cupcakes and top them with these DIY free printable monster Valentine’s Day flags and toppers.  I like how the monsters make this download a little bit different and more boy friendly.  Ellinee of Handcraft Your Life made a whole party kit so don’t forget the candy wrappers and stickers!

I love shopping in Target and can’t help but stop by the dollar section.  There are always great buys including current Valentine’s Day cupcake times! There were cupcake shaped crayons and a sticky note pad.  I loved the little cupcake rug, but be warned it is very tiny!  There was also little socks or cupcake bowels.

Simple is better has become my motto and I know in the past I have expressed my love of simple cupcake decorations.  It’s no surprise then that I love these very simple Happy Heart Day cupcake flags by Sally J Shim.  A nicely frosted cupcake with these toppers is the perfect treat for a loved one on Valentine’s Day!

Catch My Party has tons of free printables including a whole Valentine’s Day party set that has these cute cupcake toppers.  The best part about these printables is that they are not just Valentine’s Day themed, they are also cupcake themed!

I love how CupCake FabuLous decorated these Valentine’s Day cupcakes. Does anyone know what decorating tip they used? CupCake FabuLous is a family-owned cupcakery that has been serving the Dallas area since 2007. They also make twinkies! They’re enough to make a person move to Texas!

There is still plenty of time left to find something sweet for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day! How about this adorable neclace from from Etsy seller, The Wicked Shop. It comes to us from Canada for only $9.20.   This pendant started out as a plain ole Scrabble tile, but The Wicked Shop turned it into something special. Someone please let me honey know that I would love to receive this next week!

Cupcake Place Mat from Kohl’s $4.79 each

I love walking through the stores this time of year because so many stores pair cupcakes and hearts in their Valentine’s decor items. So far I have spotted cuppies in the Valentine’s sections at Walmart, Target, Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, Christmas Tree Shop and Kohl’s.  So a big thank you to all the stores who join cupcakes and hearts this holiday season.  You make it so much more special for the cupcake obsessed.  All Things Cupcake appreciates you!

This Valentine cupcake plush and rope dog toy is the perfect Valentine’s Day present for a little dog!  It’s only $3.99 on the Petco website and if your dog loves playing Tug-o-war like mine does I’m sure he or she will be happy with this toy!

As soon as the holidays end and New Years hits, it seems like it’s time to start thinking about the next holiday, which is my personal favorite, Valentine’s Day!  I have already started keeping an eye out for great cupcake items and spotted these cupcake cards on Pottery Barn Kids’s website.  The set of 20 cards cost $12.00.

Ahem, cupcakes anyone? In case you’re in the market for some cupcake lingerie, here are some offerings from Purrfect Pineapples, whose slogan is “fabulously naughty.” The cupcake corsets are custom made to fit you purrfectly! Have fun! (wink)

Happy Valentine’s Day cupcake lovers! I hope today is extra sweet! If you’re looking for something to make your valentine I think these Love Bug Mini Cupcakes are really cute and perfect for guys or girls!  Confessions of a Cookbook Queen created these love bugs using peanut m&ms, heart shaped sprinkles, pink melting candies, and a black food marker.  Have a lovely day!

Project Valentine Cupcake from Architette Studio’s Etsy Shop

Last week I ran into my local Kohl’s and was excited to see all of the cupcake items they were offering for valentines day.  You could easily decorate your whole kitchen in red, pink, hearts, and cupcakes!  These items would  also make great gifts for your special valentine.  For the kitchen there are cupcake placemats, aprons, kitchen towels and a vinyl tablecloth.  The table wouldn’t be complete without the 3 stacking bowls, cupcake shaped mug and spoon, and the serving platter.  You are also going to want the cupcake hand towel and my Kohl’s had a cute cupcake sign that isn’t on the website.  These cupcake items are on sale and affordable so be sure to stop by your local Kohls since Valentine’s Day is only two weeks away!

Like Stayhomecupcake, I too went to Target this week and spotted some great, cheap cupcake finds.  For only $1.00 you can get the extra large cupcake valentine’s day card! I also love the cupcake straws that include four different colors in a pack.  The straws can be purchased online for only $2.00!

Target does it again! In their dollar area I just found these cute cupcake bins, cards, erasers and felt bags. They also had gift bags, window gel stickers and plastic plates.  I love dollar finds!  I also found cupcake birthday party items in their party area.  Not a dollar but still great prices! 

   

Placemat

Cookie Jar

 These are just a few of my favorite items.  Kohl’s also has towels, bowls, platters, tableclothes and many more sweet items!

I spent way too much time this morning on a colossal cupcake fail. I was trying to do the Wilton Rose, but all I got were wilted dandelions. Finally, I gave up and went to youtube for some help. Probably should have done that before I frosted two dozen cupcakes. Sigh. Anyway, I found this great video, though I had to watch it in slow motion. One of my problems was the consistency of my frosting. Too stiff won’t work. Neither will too soft. Of course, if you’re smart enough to use premade decorating frosting, then you don’t need to worry about that! So, here’s your professional tutorial!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! If you’re still looking for a cupcake idea to bake for this evening or maybe after school, here’s one more idea for you! I originally saw these semi-homemade red velvet cupcakes with hearts cut out of them on Two Tiny Kitchens.  The cupcake and frosting recipe is posted there along with the instructions for how to make the heart shaped cut out.  One important tip she shared for the heart cutout is to fill the cupcake molds all the way to the top of the liners! Happy baking!

A few weeks ago while looking at Simple Song I noticed the cupcake image shown above.  I loved the Pom Pom heart toppers and of course checked out Hank and Hunt’s Etsy page.  For $10 you could order a set of six toppers that measure 1.5” by 2” each.  This weekend while looking around online I noticed that Jenny from Hank and Hunt was a guest blogger on The Sweetest Occasion and shared a DIY tutorial for how to make the pom pom heart cupcake toppers!  Its obviously too late to order the set from their Etsy page and receive them in time for Valentine’s Day tomorrow, but it’s not to late to make your own! Check out the original post for all the DIY instructions!

One thing that is almost as big as cupcakes, is a trend for really cute owls! It is no wonder then that owls, cupcakes and Valentines Day have all been combined to create a super cute gift for someone special.

These owl cupcakes were created by My Own Barn and you can find out all about them at the blog.  It is truly a haven for owl lovers with everything ‘owl’ being displayed!  But it was not the blog that got my attention, it was the cupcake, adorned with a lovely owl that was winking at me on Flickr.  You can check them out here.

This Valentine’s Day season we have showed you how to put hearts on top of your cupcakes and bake cupcakes in the shape of hearts.  Now we share with how to bake a heart in your cupcake.  If I was a little kid and bit into one of these I know I would have freaked out in excitement.  To be completely honest, if someone made these for me now I think I would still freak out! Bake It in a Cake seems to be willing to try baking anything into a cupcake.  She once baked a pie into a cupcake!  These hearts baked in cupcakes are much more tame and the pink hearts are actually sheet cake; so you’re baking a cake in a cupcake!  Head over to Bake It In a Cake to see full instructions on how to bake hearts in your cupcakes!
