What Flavor Can I Do Cupcakes For Cupcake Cake

My kids loved this cupcake cake, it was a fun change to a classic cupcake. Plus no piping skills needed!
What Frosting To Use
Whether you opt to make a homemade frosting or store-bought you will find it is delicious. Depending on what I have time for I will make a homemade frosting, other times I just buy store-bought.
You can buy white frosting but just use food coloring to color it. I love the Wilton Gel food coloring for adding color to desserts. It works great in creating the perfect coloring.
How To Make Cupcake Heart Cake
How To Make Cupcake Heart CakeYou will bake up your cupcakes, and then create a heart shape cupcake look. Then you will do a frame of icing to help give it that defined line to make it look like a heart.
Use a knife to spread the frosting on the inside to create the perfect heart shape. Then add some sprinkles or decorate as you would like.
When people go to get a cupcake it pulls right off, and everyone can enjoy a cupcake!

Ingredients
- Red Velvet Cake Mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 cup water
- Pink Frosting
- Sprinkles, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fill two muffin tins with cupcake liners. Beat cake mix, eggs, water, and oil with a hand mixer on medium speed for two minutes.
- Fill each cupcake liner with about 3 tbsp of batter. Bake for about 16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Arrange cupcakes in a heart shape. Here’s the trick, there is no specific heart shape because we will be piping on a heart.
- As long as the cupcakes look relatively like a heart, it will end up looking perfect!
- Fill a disposable pastry bag with frosting, cut 3/4 of an inch off the end of the pastry bag, and pipe a heart shape with the frosting onto the top of the cupcakes as shown in the picture.
- Fill in with the frosting and spread with a knife to make it smooth. Add sprinkles, if desired.
