Red, White & Hearts for Valentines

Valentines Day is just around the corner and that means it is time to break out all the red velvet recipes and celebrate with the one you love. These whoopie pies will be a favorite Valentines Day treat for sure!!

It’s time for a little whoopie…whoopie pie that is

I’m sorry I just can’t resist. It is just too easy. Ok…I know enough, lets move on.

I love red velvet anything. Red Velvet cake, red velvet cupcakes and especially red velvet whoopie pies. Whoopie pies are just about the best invention ever. They are a perfect cross between a cupcake & a cake that can all be held in your hand. No fork needed and you get a little cake and a little icing in each bite. It doesn’t get much better (at least in my opinion).

Who knew how easy they are…

Are you a fan of whoopie pies? The Hubby and I both are fans but I had never made them. We were going to my parents house for a little get together with some old family friends and wanted to take some fun yummies. It is time for some whoopie pies.

Not knowing how long it was going to take to whip these little yummies out I started super early, like 7 AM. Little did I know but I would have time to make 2 additional cookies as well to 2 variations of whoopie pies. I am not sure why I thought it was going to be difficult to make them, but really it was so easy & fun. Yes I said fun.

You mix together some pretty basic ingredients to make a super moist and delicious thick cake batter and then a fluffy frosting and voila you are done. Trust now that I know how easy they are I will making all sorts of whoopie pies.

Red Velvet, please

Let’s talk frosting real quick

Being that these are red velvet whoopie pies I use a traditional cream cheese buttercream. I just love cream cheese and red velvet together. If you are not a cream cheese fan, a classic buttercream is delicious or the Oreo icing from the Oreo Whoopie Pies.

For some extra fun get the kids involved with decorating.

Whether you will be celebrating with just the one you love or the whole family these whoopie pies are sure to be a hit this Valentines Day.
