Makin' Old Fashioned Cupcakes with Grandkids!

Happy Valentine's Day, Everybody!

Today is a day of fun for me with my family!  We are going to make Valentine's Cupcakes using a very old recipe from my Grandmother Martha, (who was born in 1904.)  She was phenomenal in the kitchen!   The recipe is below here for you to try!  There is no "box cake" that compares!

I am so looking forward to teaching my grandkids how to make these from-scratch cupcakes!  Frosting them is a feat for some of the younger ones.  But all is great fun for me, just getting to be with them and spend the special time together!

Afterwards, we are going to make Broccoli Cheese soup and have a nice family dinner together!  I love doing these things with them!

Where ever you are, I hope you are having a wonderful day and enjoying your life!

I am!

Love & Hugs & Blessings,
