Valentine’s Day Hack: Make heart-shaped cupcakes with a regular tin

By megret | February 12, 2009 at 7:38 pm | 22 comments | Hacks, Morsels

You don’t have to have a heart-shaped muffin tin to make fun heart-shaped muffins or cupcakes for Valentine’s Day.

Simply line a tin with paper liners, then drop a marble in between the tin and liner. (Balls of aluminum foil will also work.)

Heart cupcake liners

Carefully fill the liners to a little over 1/2 full (overfilling will cover the heart shape effect). Bake, remove from pan, remove marbles, cool, and frost.

    certainly worth a try for Valentine’s Day, or for someone’s birthday. I wonder if folks have had any problems with the marbles cracking or exploding?
