Pink Cupcakes.
What could me more perfect for Valentines Day! These gluten-free cupcakes are moist and airy and just the perfect shade of pink.
Sometimes I surprise myself when I am developing recipes and these cupcakes surprised me. Lets just say I hit a home run with this recipe. I do not like to brag but I am OVER THE MOON happy with this recipe.
Do you celebrate Valentines Day?
Normally hubby and I are pretty low key for Valentines Day. It has never been that important to me to celebrate on that day, but maybe this year I will make these cupcakes for him for dessert as well as a nice dinner.
I really am so excited for you all to get this recipe and please, please let me know if you make them. Send me a DM on Instagram, or a message on my Facebook page or here in the comments.
I really would love to hear how they worked out for you.
I didn’t add the icing to the recipe. I forgot to right down the measurements for everything but basically I mixed with my hand mixer cream cheese, a bit of Swerve icing sugar, milk, pink pitaya powder and a bit of butter.
