Use Tinfoil to Create a Heart for Cupcakes and Muffins

This weekend we made these scrumptious strawberry cupcakes. The recipe I was using had them in the shape of hearts and I didn’t have a heart cupcake tin. Poop. I generally have to do things the “old fashioned” way. That usually translates to me being too cheap to buy the right pan. Anyhoo.

Here is a little tip to make hearts out of your cupcakes without a special pan.

Now keep in mind that they wont be as PERFECT as the ones that already have that shape (obviously), but if you are in a bind and don’t mind an extra 5 minutes of work, it’s an easy fix.

Use Tinfoil to Create a Heart for Cupcakes

Just ball about a piece of foil and put it in between the tin and the cupcake wrapper.

Like so:

(this tip is from the cookbook I was using, Taste of Home Kids, but the pictures are my actual cupcakes)

 

Which creates this:

Voila.

No heart shaped tin needed!

    Yeah I have seen the marble and wondered the same thing about the heat. The tin foil seems like a MUCH better idea.

    Oh, and we are TOTALLY trying the marble craft you are talking about LOL

      I didnt see it on pinterest. Except for my own pin of course, but its not “my” tip or anyone elses. (the original tip belongs to taste of home kids cookbook)

        Oh I will totally repin your pin did you already pin it? I like how yours shows a real cupcake in the pin i saw it just showed the set up of using a marble I think but not the finished product, I would rather see this than just the set up then click over for instructions if that makes sense lOL. I like seeing the finished product.
