    The temptations of Valentine's Day are everywhere: candy, flowers, candy, and more candy. I have some good news though. I’m giving you my best romantic DIY Valentine gifts that won't break your budget! And even more good news...none of them fit in the traditional candy-chocolates-flowers mold (although some do involve edible treats!), so you can surprise your valentine with something special without spending a lot of money.

    Romantic (and Edible!) DIY Valentine Gifts

    Make Easy Rose Cupcakes

    How to Make Easy Rose Cupcakes by The DIY Mommy

    One of the Valentine’s Day traditions I have started with my girls is making simple (but impressive looking!) rose cupcakes. I’m not even sure how this became a tradition, but we all love it! All you need are cupcakes, some buttercream icing, a large icing bag, a coupler, and a 1M icing tip from Wilton (an "open star" tip). Once you’ve got your cupcakes made and your icing mixed, all you do is pipe a beautiful rose shape onto the top of each cupcake! I love how these turn out and enjoy displaying them every year.

    Heart Shaped Beignets Recipe for Valentine's Day

    I've only ever heard of beignets in the Disney movie The Princess and the Frog, and that’s because the heroine Tiana makes them in her New Orleans cafe. Recently, I got curious and investigated what they were exactly, and when I found out that they were essentially baby donuts smothered in icing sugar, I was sold. We HAD to make these, and we had to make them for Valentine's Day! Let me show you how to make heart shaped beignets that I hope would make Tiana proud.
