Love Bug Valentines Cupcakes Ingredients

  • 6 Prepared Cupcakes
  • 1 Can White Frosting
  • 6 Pink Candy Melts
  • Edible Candy Eyes
  • Edible Confetti Hearts
  • Black Licorice
  • Pink Food Colouring
  • Black Edible Food Marker

How to Make Love Bug Valentines Cupcakes

Scoop out about ½ of the frosting and place in a bowl. Add 1-2 drops of the pink food colouring and mix well.

Frost the cupcakes with the remaining white frosting. Then with the pink frosting, frost about ¾ of the cupcake leaving a little “V” wedge in the back. The pink will represent wings.


Cut little slivers of black licorice to represent the antennas. You will need 12.

Place a dab of frosting on the back of the candy eyes and place on the pink candy melts. Draw a smile with your edible marker.


In the front of the cupcake, place a lovebug head and 2 antennas. Then, place 3 confetti hearts on each side of the wings.

You now have a cute little love bug cupcake! Enjoy!!
