🍓 Strawberry Hearts Cupcake Tutorial 🧁

I cut a strawberry in half to make a heart and placed it on a vanilla cupcake! For the frosting I used a round tip 809 for the white and a star tip 31 for the red border. I colored the red frosting with Americolor super red gel. Finished with pearls and glitter for extra magic ✨
