VALENTINE RASPBERRY CREAM FILLED CUPCAKE WITH A CUPCAKE

These super easy and totally adorable Valentine Raspberry Cream Filled Cupcakes with a Cupcake topper will be perfect for showing some love! The cupcake recipe starts with a boxed cake mix then filled with a yummy raspberry butter cream icing. My favorite addition to the cupcake is the mini cupcake topper. Just such a cute addition! Years ago we made this recipe for my daughters birthday, All of the guests loved them and she has always remembered these cupcakes. So I decided I would make a batch to surprise her.


VALENTINE RASPBERRY CREAM FILLED CUPCAKE


This cupcake idea will be great for making last minute since Valentine’s Day is just a few days away. They are super easy and very inexpensive. Perfect for a classroom or office party.





The raspberry butter cream icing in the middle is such a perfect surprise. I always use a butter knife to cone out my cupcakes. Now that I am writing this post I am going to immediately hop on over to Amazon to buy one of these Cupcake Plungers. They are super inexpensive but, I keep forgetting to get one, ha ha!



Grab your favorite cake mix, raspberry preserves, butter, confectioners sugar and a few other items and you will be making these up in no time at all. I had my Reese’s Miniatures left over from Christmas so this was perfect for using them up!
