Strawberry Margarita Cake

Strawberry Margarita Valentine’s Day Cake

I am bringing you today a real easy cake to make for Valentine’s Day using a Strawberry Cake Mix and Non-Alcoholic Strawberry Margarita Mix.

I used candy hearts and sprinkles to decorate the cake with. Do you know that Necco has been making these heart candies since 1901? Generation after generation has grown up loving these candies. A few years ago the updated the sayings to include email me, LOL and call me. Makes me wonder if Text Me is coming out next.

If you’re concerned about what to do with the rest of the margarita mix you can also use it to make the kids a simple drink. Add the margarita mix to a glass with ice and 7 Up. We did it at Christmas and the kids all loved it.
