How to Make Heart Cupcakes
Make Cupcake Batter: Make cupcakes according to recipe directions. You can doctor-up a cake mix by using milk instead of water and adding one extra egg to the batter, or use my homemade chocolate cupcake recipe! Fill cupcake liners in a muffin tin ½ full (be careful to not overfill)

Place Marble: After filling the liners, place a marble between the liner and the pan. You will see the cupcake take the shape of a heart!
