Unless you have been hibernating in your home the last month, you must have noticed that valentines day is coming up soon. Every shops, restaurants and supermarkets are filled with special promotions. However nothing beats something that you have made yourself to show that you care. As this valentines day falls on a monday, you have got the whole weekend to whip up something special!
Cupcakes are very fashionable nowadays and some posh cakes shops charge the earth for them. I don't really know why because they are really easy to make. I made these with a banana base cupcakes following this recipe.
As for the icing the sky is the limit, I follow this recipe to make a cream cheese icing. Then separate them into two batches with one its natural cream colour and then other pink with adding pink colouring.
You can spoon your icing on for a retro feel, for a more polish looking try icing bag with nozzles. (This video is great if you are new to icing) Then add any decoration you like, my favourite are the silver sugar balls which made any cupcakes look more sophisticated.
