This Valentine Cupcakes With Homemade Marshmallow Cream Frosting Recipe has a homemade easy marshmallow cream/fluff frosting. It’s very sweet, too! This is essentially the perfect Valentine’s Day cupcake recipe, and it’s SO CUTE to boot! You can make these for your coworkers, your child’s classroom – if they still allow parties with sweets, that is…or simply for your family for dessert on Valentine’s Day!
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. And this Valentine Cupcakes With Homemade Marshmallow Cream Frosting Recipe is JUST PERFECT for celebrating this special day on my own. With my face stuffed with cupcakes.
I can hardly wait!
