How to Make the Heart-shaped Cupcakes?

The steps of this recipe are pretty basic and simple. Begin by, lining the cupcake tin with cupcake liners and placing a marble in the center of the “top” of the cupcake. Also, fold a small piece of foil to fit on both sides of the cupcake liner. This will create the heart mold in the baking tins. 

Next, use a 1/4 measuring cup to add the batter to the cupcake tin. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. After the time, remove and let cool in the pan for 20 to 25 minutes. 

Once removed you should have a heart-shaped cupcake! Frost as you would like and well done! You just made your own heart-shaped cupcakes for Valentine’s. 

How to Decorate the Cupcakes?

In this recipe, there are three decorating tips that I can offer. First, to make the mini rosettes, hold your piping bag straight up and down and make small circles using a “star tip”. Second, for the Crisscross Design, slightly angle the piping bag and create a crisscross pattern. And ultimately, for the heart outline, outline the cupcake and make small circles in the center to fill in the space. You can also add sprinkles!
