Hugs and Kisses

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. These cupcakes look particularly charming when arranged in an alternating pattern. Using an offset spatula, spread cupcakes with a smooth layer of Swiss meringue buttercream (page 304). Press small cinnamon red-hot candies (you’ll need about 3/4 cup) into the frosting to form Xs, Os, and heart shapes. Frosted cupcakes can be refrigerated up to 3 days in airtight containers; bring to room temperature and adorn with candies just before serving.
