Heart Cupcakes
Description
This recipe for Heart Cupcakes starts with your preferred chocolate or red velvet cupcake batter. The cupcakes are only filled halfway to ensure they bake with the right texture and rise properly. By placing a small marble between the cupcake liner and pan, the batter is pushed to expand unevenly, resulting in a heart-shaped cake after baking.
Once baked and cooled completely, the cupcakes are frosted with cream cheese frosting, balancing the cocoa flavor with creamy tang. This creative technique offers a distinctive presentation without altering the flavor or base recipe for the cupcakes.
These cupcakes are great for celebrations where a themed or shaped dessert adds to the party atmosphere. They work well for Valentine's Day, birthdays, or any occasion calling for a charming sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 24 cupcakes chocolate or red velvet cupcakes, homemade
- 1 small bag marbles , (from the dollar store!)
- 1 batch cream cheese frosting
Instructions
- Make cupcakes according to recipe directions.
- Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Spoon batter into liners, being careful not to fill each cupcake more than 1/2 full of batter. (If you fill them too full, they will loose their heart shape!)

- Bake cupcakes according to recipe directions. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
