Valentine's Day Cupcakes, Quick and Easy


I love cupcakes.  I think I like making and decorating and looking at cupcakes even more than I like eating them.  I also like conversation hearts, not so much to eat but just for the cute factor.  So when I saw the jumbo size hearts I couldn't resist, they just screamed cupcake toppers to me.  You can use any recipe or box mix that you want, but I think Red Velvet or strawberry would be particularly cute.  I also want to make these and match the icing colors to the hearts, so you might be seeing that on here soon :)  I just used a standard butter cream recipe and piped it onto these and then stuck a jumbo heart into each one.
