If iconic romance is what you’re after, whip up a batch of red velvet cupcakes for your sweetie — the bright red color fairly screams: “I love you!” If you’re short on time, our easy one-bowl chocolate cupcakes are a snap, or you can use a cake mix and strawberry soda to create a strawberry sensation.
