INGREDIENTS
- 4 jumbo cupcakes, baked in red paper liners
- 12 standard cupcakes, baked in red paper liners
- 6 mini cupcakes, baked in red paper liners
- 1 can (16 oz) vanilla frosting
- Red food coloring
- 1 tube (4.25 oz) chocolate decorating frosting
- Red Raspberry Hearts
- Petite Sour Hearts
- Pink Licorice Pastels
- Red and pink Sunkist® Fruit Gems
- Cherry Sours
- Very Cherry Jelly Belly jelly beans
DIRECTIONS
- Divide the frosting evenly between 2 bowls. Tint one bowl light pink with the red food coloring. Cover the bowls with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
- Working on 1 cupcake at a time, spread some of either frosting on top of a cupcake to make smooth. Add Jelly Belly jelly beans, Cherry Sours, Petite Sour Hearts, Red Raspberry Hearts, Fruit Gems, and Licorice Pastels in desired love message patterns on top of the cupcakes (see photo for ideas).
- For the butterfly, arrange 2 pink Licorice Pastels, end to end, in the center of the cupcake. Place 2 red hearts on either side of licorice for the wings. Pipe antennae with the chocolate decorating frosting.
