Valentine’s Day is just right around the corner! It’s a very special holiday to me. It’s not just a romantic holiday I celebrate with my hubby, but we celebrate it with the kiddos too, so they feel extra special. Each year I have an ‘I Love You‘ dinner for my kids. I decorate our dinner table with flowers and balloons and let them pick what I make to eat that night. They absolutely love it. 🙂 

For dessert I decided I’m going to make these Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes. They are so delicious and light as air. I use a white cake mix but add a couple extra special touches. Then top off each cupcake with strawberry glaze, fresh strawberries and of course whipped cream. They are divine!

Whenever I create a new recipe I’m always of thinking of ways to make it even better. (If that’s possible with these. lol) For all you chocolate lovers out there, drizzling some chocolate ganache over these would just make them all the more incredible!

  1. Hi holly, I see in the ingredients you say egg whites+ oil and water called for on the box, but there is no mention of the egg whites in the body of the recipe. Are you omitting the yolks from the eggs called for on the box?

    1. The egg whites, oil and water are the ingredients called for on the box. So I just state to mix the batter as directed on the package with those ingredients. Hope that makes sense 🙂
