Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!
I have always loved this holiday, even when I was single....and you should too! The reason I bring this up is because most people have a love/hate relationship with Valentines Day.... I just want to remind people that it's ok to be single. I was single for 20 years, my current boyfriend is my first boyfriend.....and if you don't have a special someone in your life now, be hopeful and let love find you. Valentines Day can be about loving yourself as well, so eat a cupcake, drink some wine, go get your latest style watch magazine, paint your nails and watch a cheesy chic flick....and most of all put a smile on your face because your beautiful.

For the Frosting:
PS: I used a mini cupcake pan so I would get bite size cupcakes....although this recipe also makes two regular sized cupcakes. I also substituted the sour cream for a 3/4 cup of greek yogurt. I tried one and it was delicious!!!!
