Say "I Love You" With Heart Cupcakes
Decorating Heart Cupcakes is really very easy! Although, a better description of my heart cupcakes would be cupcakes decorated with hearts.
I enjoy making special treats for my family that reflect how much I love them. What better way to do that, than to make cupcakes decorated with hearts.
I believe in saying "I love you" daily, so it does not require a special holiday to make these cupcakes for my family, but they were a perfect expression of my love on Valentine's Day.
Where To Begin
Since this article is about decorating the cupcakes, we are going to start with the cupcakes already baked, cooled and ready for decorating.
One note about cooking your cupcakes, remember, if you will be using miniature cupcakes, they require about 8 min. to bake. Use a toothpick to determine exact length of baking time. When a toothpick poked in the center of the cupcake comes out clean, the cupcake is ready.
Tips for Baking White Cupcakes
When I am baking white cupcakes, I only use the egg whites and discard the yokes. This makes the cupcake a purer white color. If your recipe calls for 3 whole eggs, use 4 egg whites instead.
Ingredients I Used to Make My Heart Cupcakes
I have Learned to Appreciate the Convenience of using Boxed Cake Mixes.
Which Do You Prefer When You are Baking?
Boxed Cake Mix
eblack88 says:
I usually use a mix for cupcakes and make my cakes from scratch.
Bonfire46 says:
Boxed cake mix still makes them home made and yummy
vikksimmons says:
Not a baker so I would imagine I'd be a boxed cake girl these days.
sandyspider says:
I use to do only from scratch. But lately it has been more from a mix. Though I still love the idea of baking from scratch..
grandmamarilyn says:
What can I say. I love convenience. Although really, from scratch is not bad but you have to buy all the supplies.
Cakes and Cupcakes Made from Scratch
miaponzo says:
I love the convenience of boxed.. but can't live without the purity of scratch!!!
spider-girl says:
I always bake from scratch!
rlivermore says:
I don't bake sweets very often, but I do bake a lot of bread and buy flour in bulk. Since I buy flour in bulk, it makes sense for me to bake my cupcakes from scratch.
jmsp206 says:
I don't bake much but when I do I think I like the real thing.
Jack2205 says:
I usually make them from scratch, but if I don't have much time I use boxed cake mix.
The Easiest Heart Cupcake to Decorate
This is by far the easiest method for making heart cupcakes!
Simply place a wrapped piece of heart shaped candy on top of an iced cupcake.
A Very Easy Heart Cupcake to Decorate
Simply place a piece of unwrapped heart shaped chocolate on top of an iced cupcake.
An Easy Heart Cupcake to Decorate
These heart cupcakes were decorated with Twilight Conversation Hearts.
LOL! I simply could not resist using the "Bite Me" heart on the small, bite-size cupcake.
An Extremely Easy Heart Cupcake to Decorate
This heart cupcake were decorated with Heart Shaped Strawberry Marshmallows.
Another Easy Heart Cupcake to Decorate
To decorate this cupcake, I simply iced one of the chocolate heart candy pieces and placed it on top of the iced cupcake.
Fairly Easy Heart Cupcake to Decorate
For this cupcake, I used a cookie cutter as a stencil and sprinkled the iced cupcake with Pink Sanding Sugar.

What Is Your Prediction for the Next Addition to Decorated Cupcakes by Sylvestermouse?
Since I started writing on Squidoo, I have published articles that give step by step instructions with photos for decorating Panda Cupcakes, Snowman Cupcakes, Horse Cupcakes, and Stenciled Cupcakes for various holidays. I even published a Cupcake Felt Pincushion tutorial in the craft category.
I am always looking for easy and cute cupcakes to decorate and even I don't know what I might do next. So, if you make the correct prediction, you really will deserve a Psychic trophy (Oh, Squidoo should have one of those :)
Links for Step by Step Instructions to Make Each of these Cupcakes can be found on the Right Side of this Article
What Will Be the Next Decorated Cupcake by Sylvestermouse?
Sylvestermouse predicts:
I think it will be a surprise, even to me :)
miaponzo predicts:
I would like to see a bouquet of flower cupcakes :)
rlivermore predicts:
I'd like to see a snowman cupcake!
jmsp206 predicts:
I love those cup cakes,cat cupcakes!
vikksimmons predicts:
I'm not a cupcake person but I have been watching Cupcake Wars and I'm amazed at all the different ingredients they use for creating flavors. Some I would never have guessed. I like the lavender and I even saw one show where they used basil. Really interesting. Makes me more curious about cupcakes.
ohcaroline predicts:
I'm predicting a monster cupcake for Squidoo-ers. I know you can do it.
