What you will need:
- Cupcakes
- Buttercream
- Pink and red food coloring
- Pastry bag
- Tip #133
- Fondant for eyes
- Heart shaped cookie cutter
- Toothpicks
- Assorted candy such as candy corn, heart shaped sprinkles, conversation hearts, & eye candy
- Red & silver disco dust
Assembly
- Bake cupcakes & make buttercream
- Color buttercream red & pink.
- Pipe buttercream on completely cooled cupcakes using tip #133.
- Make mouths out of assorted candy.
- Roll out white & red fondant, and cut out different shaped hearts to make eyes. When fondant is dry brush with a small amount of water, then disco dust if you want the sparkly effect. Once fondant is dry insert toothpicks and stick in cupcakes. Eyes can also be made using heart shaped lollipops.
Just remind people to not eat the disco dust covered items. Disco dust is not edible. It is PLASTIC CRAFT GLITTER. It’s meant for use only on things that will not be eaten. Doesn’t matter that it’s non toxic–it’s still plastic.
To keep something edible, edible glitter made from gum arabic, sanding sugar, or gelatin should be used.
