With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I’m always looking for fun and festive treats to make. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered the secret to making heart-shaped cupcakes — with no fancy pan required! This time-saving cooking hack is so great, I had to share it with all of you.

Using a regular cupcake tray, you fill the liners with your mix. Then, you place a marble between the liner and the pan. The cupcakes will take the shape of a heart, just with that one simple trick. Then, you bake the cupcakes in the oven according to the directions on the cake mix box. You don’t need any other modifications. Who knew it could be that easy?!

Watch the video demonstration to see just how simple it is to make these heart-shaped cupcakes. This is one sweet way to say “I love you” this Valentine’s Day.
