XOXO Cupcakes

If you're looking for a great way to decorate your Valentine's Day cupcakes with a less romantic feel, consider adding some hugs and kisses to the tray. No, not real hugs and kisses - we're talking about the popular acronym XOXO. X is for kisses, Os are for hugs, and these 2 letters take on a whole lot of meaning, especially come Valentine's Day. The best part? These cupcakes are super easy and they look great.

Supplies

Cupcakes (we recommend using a red velvet recipe)
Red frosting
Flat metal decorating tip and pastry bag

Directions

Cover cupcakes in white cream cheese or vanilla bean frosting.

Lay all cupcakes out on a large pan.

Alternately pipe a red X or an O onto each cupcake for a simple but cute Valentines Day treat.
