Spoon batter into liners, being careful not to fill each cupcake more than ½ full of batter. (If you fill them too full, they will loose their heart shape!) After filling the liners, place a marble between the liner and the pan. You will see the cupcake take the shape of a heart!
Place one marble in each muffin cup, between the liner and the pan, to form a heart shape. Fill the cupcake liners two-thirds full with batter. You'll have enough batter for 30 cupcakes, so you'll need to bake multiple batches.
Although Richard's heart-shaped box of chocolates was a big hit, he never actually patented his creation. Today, it's estimated that more than 35 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolates are sold for Valentine's Day each year.
You don't need a heart-shaped pan to bake up a festive cake. This simple method makes Valentine's Day dessert a cinch. Use a square and round cake of equal diameters to make a heartshaped cake: Split both cakes into layers, then cut the round layers into half-moons and frost both cakes.
Heart-shaped pan can be used for cakes, brownies, cookies or deep-dish pizzas. Perfect for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, showers or birthday parties. 9-inch baking pan is made from durable steel and has a non-stick coating for easy release and quick cleanup.
8 inch round - 2 layer cake serves 15/20 people (3 layer 20/25 servings) 9 inch round - 2 layer cake serves 20/25 people (3 layer 30/35 servings) 10 inch round - 2 layer cake serves 25/30 people (3 layer 40/45 servings)
If you're determined to use papers, try doubling them; with two layers, the one on the outside helps keep things bright. Though it also won't "stick" to the cupcake very well; Hobson's choice. Rule of thumb: The darker the cake, the less likely you are to get a pretty result.
