Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Tip: Change the wow in these cupcakes from hearts to initials, numbers or free-form designs, using the melted chocolate.
  • Tip 2
    Tip: If you have only one 12-cup pan, just cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
