Before

Since I started my Cupcake Sunday I have been collecting Cupcake Cookbooks.  I found this beautiful photograph of Valentine Heart Cupcakes and wanted to try making the hearts.

 I didn't follow the recipe for the cupcakes or topping(frosting) but, I did what was suggested to make the valentine hearts.  I collected my ingredients and away I went.

For Christmas my daughter gave me this fabulous cupcake holder.  I knew I was going to make cupcakes with the addition of red for Cupcake Sunday.

The next Cupcake Sunday with be after Valentine's Day so I want to wish you a very Happy Valentine's Day from My Cozy Corner

I think in all the years that I have been cooking I have only used Marzipan maybe once.  So when this Special Occasion came up I knew I wanted to play with Marzipan.

Yes, I did have red hands but, it washed right off with hand soap.

I would compare Marzipan with Play Dough.

I rolled it into 1/4 inch thickness

I used the whole box of marzipan for 16 hearts and red food coloring gel.

confectioner's sugar, for dusting and let dry for 3-4 hours.

Very nice cupcake papers. 

To cut the hearts I used a heart rubber stamp and took a sharp knife and cut around the heart.  It worked very well and the heart cutters to purchase were to small or to large. And, of course I was being thrifty and didn't want to buy anything if I already had something at home to use.

Very inexpensive cake mix and very moist.
