Step 5Make the hearts
Making the hearts is better described with pictures so have a look at them before you start, You want to use sharp scissors to get nice sharp edges.
15) This is a diagram of the shape you're trying to make out of the sour candy. The white dotted line indicates where i've used two pieces of candy to make each heart.
16) Take your roll of sour candy and cut off a section about 6cm long, Trim it to look like the top half of diagram 15
17) Cut a 'T' shape from another piece of sour candy to make the bottom part of diagram 15. This is what your two-part heart should look like.
18) Make four hearts, and cut the fourth one in half. This will be the unfilled heart at the end. Press a heart onto each cupcake. Leave them to set for at least half an hour, this way the surface will set slightly so if you make a mistake with the icing it can be easily corrected.
19) This diagram show where the white line goes.
20) Use your white icing to pipe the thins white line around the heart. Hold it as close to the cupcake as you can without dragging it over the surface.
Tip: Practice on a piece or paper first (or the back of your hand, yum!) If you make a mistake on the cupcakes dip your finger in water and wipe it off.
21) For the half filled heart pipe a line where the sour candy comes up to on the other hearts, and fill in with horizontal lines of icing. Pipe the white line around this like you did on the other cakes.
