Love is Like a Box of Cupcakes!

Make cake mix as directed.
-Line mini-muffin pan with festive mini-cupcake liners
-Pour batter into mini-muffin pan
-Bake for ~14 mins (on average for the mini's)
-Let cool.

Prepare Chocolate Fake Ganache:
-Scoop out half can of chocolate icing into microwaveable safe bowl
-Put icing in Microwave for 45 seconds
-Stir quickly and thoroughly
-Dip cupcakes in icing
-Let excess icing run off
-Smooth as necessary
-Add candy on tops as desired
-When Ganache semi-hard add decorator touches (ie. making hearts, writing LOVE, HUG, etc on top using tube of icing)

HINT: Depending on type of finish you want with the chocolate topping you may want to add a few melting chocolate to icing before hardening (white or dark chocolate). Adding the melting chocolate to the icing will help make ganache into a harder coating of icing on top of the cupcake which is nice for neatness, but will in make it look less shiny. It's a tough trade-off as I love the shiny finish, but it is definitely messier and thus harder to serve/transport. Luckily though both ways taste great!

Prepare White Chocolate (red and pink) Fake Ganache
-Scoop out half can of vanilla icing into microwaveable bowl
-Put icing in Microwave for 45 seconds
-Add in 10 Red melting chocolates (if you only have white melting chocolate simply add red or pink food coloring too)
-Stir quickly and thoroughly
-Dip cupcakes in icing
-Let excess icing run off
-Smooth as necessary
-Add candy as desired to decorate
-When Ganache semi-hard add decorator touches (ie. making hearts, writing LOVE, HUG, etc on top using tube of icing)

HINT: The vanilla icing and red chocolates will likely melt into a pink Ganache, to make more red after coloring a few pink ones, simply add red food coloring as desired.
