How to make Love Bug Cupcakes

Scoop out about ½ of the frosting and place in a bowl. Add 1-2 drops of the pink food coloring and mix well.

Frost the cupcakes with the remaining white frosting. Then with the pink frosting, frost about ¾ of the cupcake leaving a little “V” wedge in the back. The pink will represent wings.

Cut little slivers of black licorice to represent the antennas. You will need 12.

Place a dab of frosting on the back of the candy eyes and place on the pink candy melts. Draw a smile with your edible marker.

In the front of the cupcake, place a lovebug head and 2 antennas. Then, place 3 confetti hearts on each side of the wings.

You now have a cute little love bug cupcake! Enjoy!!
