Show your friends and family how sweet you think they are by making them something sweet! It doesn't have to be a time consuming baking project though. Making these Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes was super easy with a Pillsbury Devil's Food Cake Mix and the NEW Pillsbury Pastry Bag Cream Cheese Frosting. The frosting is so convenient because it comes in it's own pastry bag and pastry tip! All you do is clip off the tip and start piping! I’ve actually joined forces with Pillsbury to help spread the word about Operation Celebration. I love that name. Isn’t it cute?! And honestly, I think it’s very appropriate because I take celebrating very seriously! So what is Operaftion Celebration, you might ask? It’s a way of inspiring families to get together in the kitchen and celebrate special days with sweet treats. That’s right up my alley. I’m all in for Operation Celebration!

Now for the step-by-step instructions. I decided to get a little creative with this recipe, so I added some different ingredients to the Pillsbury Devil's Food Cake Mix. Instead of using the oil and water, I added one can of cherry pie filling as well as 3 large eggs. I also added 1 teaspoon of almond extract for an extra pop of flavor. I mixed all of the ingredients in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium for 2 minutes, then scooped the batter into 18 muffin cups lined with cupcake liners. Then baked them at 350°F. for 25 minutes and let them cool.

I piped the Pillsbury Pastry Bag Cream Cheese Frosting onto the cupcakes in a swirled pattern. It's so fun to pipe frosting and I loved that the frosting was already in the pastry bag. Quick and easy!

Then I added Valentine themed sprinkles and a cherry on top. The cherry pie filling makes these cupcakes extra moist and the chocolate cherry combination is amazing! The cream cheese frosting is the perfect addition!

Cupcakes make a great little Valentine's Day gift. My son and I put our Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes in individual plastic containers, then added a name label and some pretty ribbon. Aren't they cute?!
