valentines day #7: sweet treats

Walmart's Selection

Hello Gals! Well, life has definitely been getting a little crazy here with not even a moment to breathe. But hey, I am sure we can all stop to eat or make a yummy treat, right? To me the best treats are the homemade ones (well, made from a box is kind of the same right)!  Valentine's Day is the perfect day to make those sweet treats such as cookies, cakes, and my favorite CUPCAKES! YUUUMMMMMMM!!! With my super busy week, I decided to make my treats from a box (but, if you make them from scratch you get those extra bonus points!).  My favorite cupcake mix is Pilsbury's Funfetti, but it's Valentine's Day so they have a Special Edition out! You can get this at any grocery store, Target, or Walmart! I picked mine up at Walmart for $1.50.  They also have Valentine's cookie and brownie mix.

Marshalls - $6.99

While I was shopping at Marshall's I saw the Valentine's display with goodies on it. The Red Velet Cupcake Mix definetly caught my eye! It was $6.99, which is a little pricey! But, they are perfect color for Valentine's Day.

Of course you can't forget the best part of the cupcakes or cake right?? THE FROSTING!!!! Pilsbury also sells Special Edition Valentine's Day Vanilla Frosting with heart sprinkles!!! SO CUTE! I definately love to go all out with making my cupcakes fancy. You can add a drop or few drops to your icing to make it pink or red, to add that special Valentine's touch.  Sometimes I add crystal sprinkles to give it that extra sparkle. Right now they have them at Target in the One Spot, for just a $1.  

Lastly, how can we forget that we need to pack those sweet treats up to give to our special loved ones! Target has Valentine's Cello Treat Bags for just $1. They definetly put the perfect last touch!
