Valentine's Day Cupcakes

I made red velvet cupcakes, and used the rest of the batter to make delectable cakepops for Valentine's day. To decorate these, first I mixed up some cream cheese icing. I used a large round icing tip (Wilton tip 2A), to frost some of the cupcakes, then rolled the edges lightly in sprinkles. 

 I painted a stripe of pink and red color gel into an icing bag fit with Wilton tip 2D, then filled with cream cheese icing to pipe tri-colored Valentine-themed swirls. 

I melted some red candymelts in the microwave, and then piped designs onto wax paper. Once completely dry, carefully remove and use to decorate cupcakes along with additional sprinkles.
