Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Scoop out about ½ of the frosting and place in a bowl. Add 1-2 drops of the pink food coloring 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!!

Notes

    • Frost cupcakes with white frosting and add a "V" of pink frosting at the back.
    • Attach pink candy melts for wings and edible candy eyes for the face.
    • Use black licorice for antennas, an edible marker for a smile, and confetti hearts for extra decoration.
