Bake up some love with these heart shaped sugar cookies.
All-purpose flour: Provides structure to the cupcakes. Granulated sugar: Sweetens things up! Baking powder and baking soda: Acts as a leavening agent, helping the cupcakes rise. Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the other flavors. Cocoa powder: Unsweetened to add chocolatey richness. And black cocoa powder, which is a super rich alkalized cocoa powder that is used to boost color, think Oreos. You can easily substitute regular cocoa powder for the same taste, but the cupcakes will not be as dark. Milk and cooking oil: WProvides moisture and richness. Cinnamon oil: Cinnamon oil adds warmth reminiscent of cinnamon hearts – if you don’t have cinnamon oil, don’t use ground cinnamon as a replacement as it has a different flavor. Eggs: Act as a binding agent and make the cupcakes moist. Hot water: Makes the batter silky smooth. Cinnamon icing: Cinnamon hearts, salted butter, powdered sugar, whipping cream, cinnamon oil.
Frosting: This cinnamon icing perfectly highlights the cinnamon notes. You can also use frosting with some drops of pink or red food dye, then use a piping bag to pipe the icing onto your cupcakes in a rose shape. Sweet words: Grab some icing pens and write cute and personalized messages for your lucky recipient! They’re like tiny canvases. Sprinkles and glitter: Sprinkle some love onto the cupcakes with pink, red, and white sprinkles, or use a batch of Valentine’s Day sprinkles. Edible glitter adds some extra dazzle! Chocolate shavings: Grate some rich chocolate to create beautiful chocolate shavings. Sprinkle them over your cupcakes for an extra touch of decadence. Edible flowers: These make an elegant and sweet personal touch! Valentine’s candy: Keep it classic and charming with conversation hearts candy. These timeless treats are not only delicious but also add a nostalgic touch to your Valentine’s Day creations.
Once you’ve decorated them, you can gift them by presenting them in a container, or use a decorative box with a ribbon and personalized note.
