Valentine's Day Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes on Valentine's Day for our staff retreat. I was experimenting with the new icing dye and icing tips I received as a wedding gift - as you can tell, I need a lot of practice! (I also can't figure out how to flip the pictures on here - sorry).

The cupcakes themselves are peanut-butter filled chocolate cupcakes. I got a recipe from Women's Day magazine, and was not very impressed (therefore I will not be posting it here!) I am hoping to try more peanut butter/chocolate cupcake combinations in the near future that will hopefully be more successful. These would receive a "C" grade. I even had to dump all of the frosting and make my own. I'll post the recipes for more successful cupcakes endeavors, but I did want to share the pictures. I look at these as a good "starting point" - so hopefully as I improve, I can look back and see how far I've come.:-)
