Bikin cupcakes untuk orang terkasih di Valentine ini yuk,

INGREDIENTS

Cupcakes Mini paper liners c. granulated sugar 1/2 c. all-purpose flour 3 tbsp. unsweetened dark cocoa 1 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. Kosher salt 4 large egg whites 2 tbsp. canola oil 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 2 oz. bittersweet chocolate Royal Icing and Decorations 3 large egg whites 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar 1 lb. confectioners' sugar Red gel food coloring Red, pink, and white medium nonpareils Red, pink, and white sugar hearts Sanding sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. 1. To make the cupcakes: Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 24-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners.
2. 2. In a large bowl, sift together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
3. 3. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy, then whisk in the oil, and vanilla. Add the egg white mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Fold in the chocolate.
4. 4. Divide the batter among the lined muffin cups and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks. Decorate as desired.
5. 5. To make the icing: Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium- high speed until foamy, about 1 minute.
6. 6. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the sugar, beating until just incorporated. Increase the speed to high and beat until medium-stiff glossy peaks forms, 5 to 7 minutes.
7. 7.Separate into bowls and tint different colors. Transfer 1/3 of each color to separate pastry bags fitted with fine tips. Use a few drops of water to thin the icing remaining in the bowls for flooding: place in separate resealable bags; snip off the corners.
8. 8. Using the thicker icing, outline the lovebug wings on the cupcakes, then flood using the thinner icing. Decorate while the icing is still wet. For multiple colors, let each icing dry before applying another.

Valentine bingung mau pergi kemana? tidak perlu mahal untuk mengisi hari valentine, semua terasa indah hanya dengan kehadiran orang tersayang. Kamu bisa mencoba beberapa ide dibawah ini untuk mengisi valentine dengan orang terkasih

Fireside Picnic

Have the sofa pulled up in front of a roaring fire and some champagne on ice. For an added touch, serve strawberries to bring out the champagne's flavor, or drop pomegranate seeds into the glass to tinge the bubbly pink.

Spa Night

When your sweetie gets home, draw a hot bath filled with rose petals. Since roses are so expensive around Valentines Day, you can ask your florist for a package of plain rose petals, short-stemmed roses, or for "seconds" -- ones that are slightly bruised since you won't be giving them in a traditional way. Have a glass of wine and some chocolates to nibble on by the side of the bathtub. Meanwhile, prepare the bedroom. Line the bed with towels fresh out of the dryer so that they're warm. Get a basin full of warm water near the bed, several washcloths, and some great spa products. Start off with an exfoliating rub, then massage in a great body moisturizer. You might also want to throw in a foot rub for extra brownie points. (Many people have creams and exfoliating rubs at home already; you don't have to spend extra money on this step.)

Romantic Night

Start by sending your sweetheart out on an errand and getting them out of the house. (If you don't live together, you're one step ahead.) Meanwhile, turn the lights out in most of the house, and replace the lights in the stairway with low wattage bulbs. If you can't easily change them, don't worry, put a lamp or candles in the stairway instead. Scatter rose petals like a trail of breadcrumbs leading from the front door, up the stairs and into the bedroom. Put on something sexy and lay out a sexy outfit for your partner. Ideally, this will be a gift of something new, but needn't be if you don't have a lot of money. Prepare some aphrodisiac foods that you can feed each other, including almonds, chocolates, dates, raspberries, strawberries and wine. (For that extra touch, a few hours before your date, dip the strawberries in melted chocolate and chill in the fridge.) Fill the bedroom with tons of candles and turn the lights out. Then just wait for your sweetheart.   https://www.thespruce.com/romantic-valentines-day-at-home-3489471

FLOWERS

The female species loves flowers. For some reasons, it became one of the most significant symbols that make any romantic gestures effective. If you plan to use flowers to your advantage, you should start with what sort of flowers that she likes. Most of the time, choosing flowers for your woman should be specific. It is an acquired taste so make sure to get this right. If you guess your way through this, it will likely end up the wrong way. Flower bouquets are good but it is impractical and too pompous. Know that simplicity is always the best style.
