Chocolate Hearts Valentines Cupcakes

These St Valentine's Cupcakes are from the basic cupcake recipe with a teaspoon of mixed spice,chopped dates, cherries and sultanas added to the mixture. They were made in Valentines Hearts cupcake cases which add to the decoration of the cupcakes. I topped each cake with pink icing and then each one had a chocolate heart placed on top. I found the chocolate hearts in a local store. They are made of light and dark chocolate. I dusted the cupcakes off with icing sugar to give a frosted effect. These cupcakes give a good chocolate experience and a delicious cupcake sponge. Have a search in local shops and supermarkets to see what you can find for your Valentine's cupcakes.
