Another winner from our Valentine’s Dinner. I’ve always thought cannoli’s sounded so good and so delicious. Italian people have the right idea when it comes to food.

I think I want to go and visit or even live there. Ever since I could remember I’ve wanted to go to Italy and Greece. Anyways, Matt was so awesome and helpful with these cupcakes.

He made 60 homemade mini cannoli’s to top these cupcakes with. They were delicious! This recipe makes 24 cupcakes.
