Cupcakes

12 regular-size glass or ceramic marbles
1 box cake mix devil’s food
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box

Frosting

1 cup butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Red or pink food color
Candy sprinkles, if desired

Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 30 regular-size muffin cups. Place 1 marble in each muffin cup between paper baking cup and muffin pan so baking cup takes on heart shape.

Bake 14 to 15 minutes or until tops of cupcakes bounce back when touched and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on cooling rack.
In large bowl, beat softened butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla with electric mixer on high speed 3 to 4 minutes or until frosting is light and fluffy. Add food color to make desired shade of pink.
Spread frosting on cooled cupcakes with knife or use decorating bag fitted with plain tip. Top with candy sprinkles.
