Stir in some red gel coloring until you get a nice vibrant red color. Step 4: Separate 2 cups of the pink (or strawberry!) cake batter from the rest. Remember pink get’s really bright really quick so be careful, and the color will darken once baked.Īlso if your wondering why I used white cake instead of strawberry….well quiet honestly I just didn’t feel like making strawberry cupcakes! And maybe my type A wanted complete control of the shade of pink… maybe. Step 3: IF you’re using white cake mix, add in pink gel coloring until you get a nice pastel pink. Step 2: Mix your cake batter as directed on box. **I was able to make 12 cupcakes with this method, but did have quite a bit of scrap red left** Of course the jumbo hearts could always be swapped out for a candy or even a small fondant heart. The little heart sprinkles can be found just about anywhere around V-day and jumbo hearts can often be found at baker’s stores, and craft store, or online at various places. These red greaseproof cupcake liners were from Sweets & Treats Boutique of course. Small heart cutter OR flower cutter (see below) Pink gel coloring (you can skip this if your using strawberry cake) white cake made all the difference in these little guys :)ġ white OR strawberry cake mix + ingredients listed on back They were really too cute to go unshared, and after reading how others did it…I liked my process a bit better! And…I think the pink cake vs. But my love of cupcakes make me think hey, why not try it in a cupcake! Even though, my creative bubbled was totally Pinterest popped. …a heart! So cute right?! In the past I’ve seen some really fun shapes baked into cakes, and always wanted to give it a try. aBut it’s what’s inside that’s really fun, there’s something special baked inside…. I love you Pinterest I really do, but sometimes…ĭon’t these cupcakes just make you want to go…. Not once, but twice, from different origins, the very same day. Not only do I spend way too much time pinning things to my list of things I’ll never really get around to doing….it’s a total creative bubble popper! Like when I have this fun idea, which I execute, photograph, adore….and then see it on Pinterest. But sometimes it’s kind of a love/hate relationship for me. I mean why not it’s full of great recipes, crafts, inspirations…not that I have to convince you or anything. I know, so does every other women on the internet. Are you guys ready for some love filled posts? ♥ I know I am! Speaking of love…I really love Pinterest.
