Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!
Valentine’s Day might not mean much to you. . . yes, it’s over commercialized and over hyped and restaurants and florists charge an arm and a leg for dinner and roses but I say, let’s just enjoy today, shall we? When it comes down to it, it’s not about having someone special or getting roses or even a card . . .
For today, I say, let’s simply do this:
And eat chocolate cupcakes.
To end this chocolatey week, I’m leaving you with these delicious, delectable chocolate raspberry cupcakes. Now, I couldn’t end the week with just any ole chocolate cupcake. I needed to present the best possible chocolate cupcake around. And since I had these
These are cupcakes that would satisfy any chocolate lover.
Now, I realize having the Theo Chocolate Raspberry 70% Dark chocolate bar is kind of KEY to making these cupcakes. . so here’s a reminder to click on over to
By the way, I am kicking myself over here. I thought I took photos to show the inside of these cupcakes but alas, I did not. This is what happens when you make three recipes in one day and photograph everything too quickly. I will have to bake these again and show you on Instagram.

Chocolate raspberry cupcakes are just the perfect treat for this sweet day. LOVE the Theo chocolate on top…I would sneak them all off and eat them:)I know what you mean about forgetting to get a certain shot…even w/out the inside shot, I’d love one now! Happy Valentine’s Day, sweet friend. xx

I love that sentiment, Alice: Love more, worry less, eat more chocolate. Yes yes yes! I should put that on a poster and hang it up somewhere I can see it every day. That should be my new mantra. I need to get my greedy little hands on some Theo chocolates so that I can replicate your gorgeous, amazing, decadent cupcakes exactly. I’m super jealous of Paul ‘n the kids right now for getting to eat these 😉 Happy Valentine’s & TGIF, dear friend!

These look wonderful!
At IFBC last year, I wanted to ask Andrew Scrivani where eating the food fit into his food photography work flow…

YES, Alice. Yes. Preach, girl. And these cupcakes look aaaamazing. With a couple of these, I bet even the V-day opposition would be okay with it. Love this post! Happy Valentine’s Day to you 🙂
