Valentine's Day Cupcake Craziness

Our Valentine's Day was absolutely crazy (in a good way) this year! We delivered cupcakes to benefit our adoption and it kept me quite busy. On Monday morning I was able to go to Faith's Valentine party and then I hit the ground running. I baked 12 dozen cupcakes or so. I made vanilla, chocolate, & red velvet. I also made frosting and decorations. We delivered two cupcakes in a decorative box for $10. We also delivered kid packs that included an eraser, pencils, stickers, & a cupcake balloon for $5. We did over 28 deliveries. Jeremy came home from work early to help with deliveries. I also squeezed in attending an assembly Grace was in and her Valentine party that afternoon. I literally fell asleep on the couch at 8 o'clock that night. Not such a great Valentine for my hubbie. But, he didn't mind too much since we raised $500 for our adoption!!! Hooray!
Each box included a vanilla cupcake with pink buttercream and a chocolate fondant heart. It also had a chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing and a peanut butter heart dipped in white chocolate. We got lots of great feedback and are hoping to do this again next year.
Happy Valentine's day Humiston family- I loved our crazy cupcake day! And can't wait till we celebrate as an entire family some day. (maybe with cupcakes just for us)
