Valentine's Day Mini Vanilla Cupcakes With Homemade Marshmallow Cream Frosting Recipe

I always loved Valentine's Day as a child because my parents celebrated the holiday as a family - they had their own date, of course, but they always took us out to celebrate as well.

During my marriage, Valentine's Day was always a special day for my ex-husband and I too, and it was one of the only times that he actually gave me flowers, chocolates and gifts.

Now that I am divorced, Valentine's Day is sort of a tricky day for me...I get so excited about it in the weeks leading up to it, but when it rolls around, I remember that I don't actually have anyone to celebrate it with.

Most of my girlfriends are in relationships, so...yeah, Jenn spends that lover's day all alone.

Except for the candy...candy will always be my one true love! Cupcakes fall in that sweetness category too.

Directions for how to make Mini Vanilla Cupcakes With Marshmallow Cream Frosting

Firstly, make your cupcakes according to the directions on the box or cake mix!

Then, beat the unsalted butter with a mixer for about 30 seconds.

Add in the powdered sugar, half a cup at a time, and beat it well after each addition.

Next, beat in the pure vanilla extract.

Finally, add the marshmallow cream to the mixture and beat everything together just until it's just combined. Be careful not to overmix the frosting!

Place your frosting into a piping bag fitted with a star tip (I used 2D) and pipe your fluffy frosting onto the prepared cupcakes. Then add your Valentine's Day Sprinkles.

YUM!

How will you be spending your Valentine's Day? Whatever your plans, I highly recommend fitting in some sweets, even if it's just for yourself.

How do I store Mini Vanilla Cupcakes?

Store your cupcakes in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or stick them in a freezer safe bag and freeze them for up to a month!
