Better than Sex Cupcakes are a sweet treat for Valentine's or Galentine's Day, or for a cheeky little love spell. Chocolate cupcakes are infused with creamy sweetness then topped with a billowing cloud of frosting. It's almost too awesome.
I'm one of those people who finds it very awkward to talk about sex. I know some witches and magical practitioners are very in tune with this aspect of their lives and their craft. I'd much rather talk about cupcakes. Do whatever makes you happy, but I'd rather that sort of thing remain private. Maybe I'm a bit of a prude. Who knows?
But as to whether or not any food is better than sex is obviously up for debate. I can say that food and sex can sometimes have similar energies. Both are very sensual and primal. We need both for survival, so our urge to have them is very strong. They can both be a bit messy and a bit risky. But most importantly, both food and sex can be extremely pleasurable.
What makes Better Than Sex Cupcakes so awesome?
These cupcakes are really good. You'll have to make up your own mind how they rate compared to sex. They start with your favorite chocolate cupcake base. Feel free to use a box mix. That's what I did. But then they get infused with a mixture of sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce making the inside of the cake almost damp with sticky sweetness.
The frosting is made with cooked milk and flour so that it's fluffy and cloud like, and surprisingly not overly sweet. You can also top these with chopped crunchy toffee bits. That's traditional. I couldn't get any this time, so I went for pretty rose gold sprinkles to add to the romance factor.
I do think these would be really fun for a Galentine's Day celebration. You can certainly find pleasure beyond the bedroom, so I think these cupcakes are a great symbol of that. They'd also be great for a bridal shower or other girls' night type of activity. Or feed one to your partner in bed and see what happens.
Make it magical
These cupcakes are sweet on sweet, so they're great for attraction. And if sex is something you're looking to attract, this recipe could certainly help with that. Dark chocolate is associated with love and romance, as well as prosperity and grounding. Milk carries the energy of fertility and abundance. The sugar in the frosting can be used to amp up the attraction factor. It's also used to call in love.

Tips for making Better than Sex Cupcakes
These start with a box cake mix, preferably devil's food cake. You can make your own cupcakes from scratch, but don't feel pressured to do so. It's the next step that gets a little complicated. You're going to mix together some sweetened condensed milk and some caramel sauce, then you need to get it inside the cupcakes.
I like to use a chopstick to poke about four holes into each cupcake. You can then use a piping tip or a squeeze bottle to inject the caramel mixture inside the cupcakes. If you're feeling lazy, you could also spoon the mixture over, then go back and add a bit more once it's been absorbed. Either way, it will probably make a mess. Just embrace it.
Then to make the frosting, we have to start by cooking together milk and flour to form a paste then letting that cool. Then you cream together butter and sugar before adding the milk paste and some vanilla extract to the mixture. Keep beating it until it's super light and fluffy. Pipe this on to your cupcakes then add toffee or sprinkles as you like.
Sex is great, but so are cupcakes. Get yourself the best of both worlds with Better than Sex Cupcakes. Share them with someone who also enjoys pleasure.

Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 recipe of your favorite Devil's Food Cupcakes
- 1 small can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup caramel sauce
For the frosting
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 8 ounces (225 grams) butter, room temp
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1-½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup toffee bits, optional
Instructions
For the cupcakes
- Prepare your cupcakes according to your favorite recipe or package instructions. Allow cupcakes to cool.
- Poke four holes in each cupcake with a chopstick or other round object.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together condensed milk and caramel sauce. Transfer this mixture to a piping bag or a zip top bag. You can just snip the tip off, but the mixture will be very runny. I highly recommend using a small round piping tip. Or if you have a squeeze bottle with a small tip, that could also work well.
- Insert your piping tip or bag into each of the four holes in each cupcake and squeeze the mixture in. This can be very messy, so plan for drips.
For the frosting
- In a small sauce pan over medium heat, whisk together flour and milk. Continue to whisk and heat until the mixture becomes thick like paste. Pop this into the fridge to cool for about ten minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together on medium speed for about five minutes. You want the mixture to be very light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and beat to combine.
- Add the milk and flour mixture, and beat on medium for another three minutes. Your frosting should be very fluffy, almost like whipped cream.
- I used a Wilton 1M tip to pipe my frosting on. Hold the bag straight above the cupcake and squeeze for five seconds, then pull straight up. Or make an old-fashioned swirl.
- Sprinkle with toffee bits or sprinkles.
