Hey guys, it's Lauren from Tastes Better From Scratch, back again to share a yummy treat with you all!
Is it sad that on Valentine's Day I sometimes wish I was still in the first grade again? Remember when all the kids in your class had a brown paper bag with their name on it and everyone exchanged Valentines?
Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE celebrating Valentine's Day (and it's much more romantic now than it was when I was six years old), but I miss exchanging Disney Princess valentines with my friends! My sister and I would always make a huge batch of these delicious Valentine Sugar Cookies for our friends, so I guess you could say we were always pretty popular on Valentine's Day :-)
I was wracking my brain for a creative and inexpensive Valentine treat idea to share with you guys and then my mom told me about this genius idea! I couldn't believe this is the first time I'd heard of this---Heart shaped cupcakes made using a regular muffin tin and some marbles!
I found a little bag of marbles at the dollar store, and I had everything to make some cupcakes and frosting, so this cute little idea hardly cost anything!
Cheap + adorable + delicious = the perfect Valentine's Day treat!
Heart Cupcakes (from a muffin tin)
Recipe by Lauren Allen (Tastes Better From Scratch)
Ingredients:
1 batch of cupcakes
1 small bag of marbles (from the dollar store!)
1 batch of frosting
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 â…” full of batter. (If you fill them too full, they will loose their heart shape!)
After filling the liners, place a marble between the liner and the pan. You will see the cupcake take the shape of a heart!
Bake cupcakes according to recipe directions. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
