Delicious Sweetheart Cupcakes

Redlicious Delicious Sweetheart Cupcakes For Your Sweetheart


A couple weeks back we  had been brainstorming some exciting Sweetheart  treats to blog about right here on the website and I remembered  these cupcakes I discovered which had hearts baked on the inside of them. I performed a bit of research and discovered these surprise heart inside cupcakes were totally doable and comparatively simple to make. We gave them a go and I believe they turned out very well! Here’s the way I made them:

Redlicious Suprise Sweetheart Cupcakes

1.  Prepare the Vanilla Cupcake mixture.
2.   Separate mixture into 2 parts: Place one half of the mixture right into a big measuring cup having a  (this is to make pouring the actual mixture into the cupcake container less difficult) or a medium sized dish. Put the rest of it into a different bowl and include red food-coloring up until you achieve your required color. (Hint: We made both red as well as pink variations, however the red turned out to be far better since there ended up being a lot more contrast between the two cupcakes.
3.   Place the cupcake liners directly into a clean cupcake pan.
4.   Pre-heat oven to 350-degrees.
