\"\"<\/a>I saw this idea on Pinterest<\/a>, which is slowly taking over the world!!! \u00a0Hahaha . . . it might not be taking over the world, but it’s surely taking over my spare time, and what little I have of it! \u00a0If you haven’t seen it yet (where have you been) make sure you go and request an invite (makes it seem like an exclusive club or something) and try it out! \u00a0It has tons of ideas for everything! \u00a0I use it for kindergarten ideas, along with cakes, cupcakes, and recipes galore!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All you need for this simple activity are some glass marbles, cupcake liners, and cupcake batter! \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Heart<\/a><\/p>\n

This idea seemed so simple, that I didn’t think there was any way that it would actually work! \u00a0<\/p>\n

A marble, pushed in beside the cupcake liner? \u00a0How could that work? \u00a0<\/p>\n

Well, it works ONLY<\/strong> if you half fill your liners. \u00a0<\/p>\n

In my practice batch (which I need to do to make sure I don’t screw up on camera!\u00a0 Cuz, I NEVER do that \ud83d\ude09 ) I put my usual amount of batter in, 3\/4 full, and they came out like poorly shaped bumpy, roundish cupcakes! \u00a0The marbles were covered in batter, which was not nice to clean! \u00a0<\/p>\n

SOLUTION- only fill the liners HALF full! \u00a0It makes them turn out perfectly heart shaped and once you have iced the cupcakes, you have a delightful little heart shaped cupcake! \u00a0<\/p>\n
