Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday. No joke. It’s been my favorite since I was a little girl, and I love to celebrate it in small ways all week long. Guys usually aren’t so excited about Valentine’s Day; to many of them it means having to spend more money or plan something romantic. Why can’t Valentine’s Day be simple and inexpensive? And have something even a dude can find fun?
My husband and I decided a few years ago to do some creative, homemade projects for Valentine’s Day. We usually create something silly for each other. (I’m still working on mine for Sunday…sssshhhhhh.) Since we are both Star Wars fans and like to rock Star Wars style, I thought it would be fun to make some Star Wars themed cupcakes for the holiday together!
Cupcakes aren’t exactly on the New Years diet, so we tried to clean them up a bit by using Coconut Oil instead regular oil, and Egg Replacer instead of real eggs. Every little healthy decision counts, right? I found these super cool Star Wars stickers at Michael’s for $1 and attached them to heavy duty tooth picks as our cupcake toppers. The force must have been with us, because they stayed on perfectly.
All in all, they tasted pretty yummy and we had a lot of laughs making them together. And who doesn’t want to eat a snack with Chewy on top?
