These cup cakes are far from perfect, but they sure make a good impression on any table. Why not try something new, make these to leave a lasting impression.
If you don't have time to Make the blue hearts, you can use any other decoration you feel like using, stick a little paper flag on a toothpick in there, make blue hearts out of fondant, make a copy of anything blue you like, stick it on a toothpick and stick int into the cupcake.
Or draw a blue heart on paper, stick on a toothpick with sticky tape and stick it into the cupcake. Use your imagination, be creative, go wild!
Cupcakes are the easiest thing to make! You can never go wrong with a cupcake. It is the easiest thing on Earth! As long as you have an egg, flour, baking powder, and/or baking soda, any kind of fat and a little milk or cream as needed you are set to go!
Or just take any of your favourite cake recipes and just bake it as a cup cake. Normally you bake cupcakes 180 and 200 C for 15-20 minutes.
For the icing you just need to mix butter or margarine with an electric mixer until soft and add sifted icing sugar until you have the right consistency. Finally add some food colour and mix again with the electric mixer.
Fill a piping bag with the icing with the any tip you prefer, pipe your cup cakes.
Anybody can and may do it, it doesn't need to be perfect! Just enjoy it!

If you have time, why not try your hand on these blue hearts:
I used crushed blue candy to fill silicon heart mould, ( or any other silicon mould of your choice!), put them in the oven at 180 C until the candy has just melted and took them out to cool. When they are cool to the touch you can just pop them out.
Just be careful when you melt them, the candy melts very quickly, you literally need to stand and watch them while they melt, because if you keep them in the oven for too long they candy turns yellow or brown. That goes for any colour you use!
Come one, give it a try!
