Red Velvet Cupcakes

Valentines is such a great holiday.  Even if it was created by that card company, any holiday that gives us guys a chance to focus on our wives is a huge plus.  We don’t have to remember anything.  We don’t have find the perfect gift.  A card and something sweet and we are in like Flint.  For my wife, I have to buy some candy, not baked goods.  I need to buy some Twizzlers, some Hot Tamales and some Sugar Babies and I am sure to get a smile, kiss and a hug.

If you are a little more adventurous, then try these Red velvet cupcakes.  The cupcake is actually from a mix and if you can read the box, you can do this part.  The frosting is pretty easy if you know where to find a hand mixer.  Think of it as a tool and you will still be a tough guy.  I wonder if you could mix it with a power drill.  Note to self, give that a try.

If you are looking for a song that your special someone may not have heard try
