Fancy Heart Cupcakes
Creating heart-shaped cupcakes is easy and fun!
According to Alex LaRosa, you can achieve this by placing a marble into your cupcake pans before adding the batter. Don’t worry, they bake just fine.
After baking, add a dollop of buttercream to each side and flip them upside down onto parchment paper.

Buttercream heart cupcakes
Buttercream heart cupcakes are a wonderful way to add a touch of love to your baking.
Start by using a large round piping tip to pipe a heart shape on the top of your cupcake. Smooth it out, and then gently place the cupcake onto parchment paper.
This helps to get a perfectly smooth finish without losing the heart shape. Freeze the cupcakes for 15 minutes.
Once they are firm, peel them away from the parchment and decorate as desired. You can add a border using tip 18, sprinkle some colorful sprinkles, and top with a candy heart.
For an extra sparkle, add some gold edible glitter—but sometimes, less is more. Enjoy your beautiful buttercream heart cupcakes!

Vanilla Heart Cupcake
Creating Linzer cookie-inspired cupcakes is a delightful and creative idea, thanks to lindseybakedthis.
Start by cutting the top off a vanilla cupcake, just above the liner, and save the top piece.
Pipe a border of vanilla buttercream on the bottom part and fill the inside with strawberry jam using Wilton tip 32.
Next, use a mini cookie cutter (1-1.25 inch) to cut a shape out of the top piece and dust it with confectioner’s sugar.
Finally, place the top back onto the cupcake. The result is a lovely and delicious treat that combines the charm of Linzer cookies with the goodness of cupcakes.
