Surprise your loved one with these yummy cupcakes

Valentine’s day cupcakes? Really? How tacky! Valentine’s day is around the corner so I tried out some special cupcakes. You can simply make your favourite cupcake recipe and colour your batter rose (1/3 rose and 2/3 natural). Then pour the natural coloured batter into the cupcake pan and top with rose on the side only. Then using a chop stick, create a heart like the below pictures.

Now bake your cupcakes following the recipe but keep an eye on them. I baked mine for approx 35 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius. Let the cupcakes cool down on a cooling rack and get ready for decorating the cupcakes!

Decorating the Valentine’s Day Cupcakes

I recently learned from my friend how to create filled cup cakes so if you’d like to try something new. See below! It’s easy, all I do is cut out a little circle on the top of the cup cake and cut out the cake off the lid, just so that you only have a ‘lid’ left.
