1 package (18-1/4 ounces) white cake mix
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon butter flavoring, optional
2 tablespoons milk
1 to 2 drops red food coloring, optional
1 to 2 drops yellow food coloring, optional
1 to 2 drops blue food coloring, optional
Prepare cake mix according to package directions for cupcakes. Place paper or
foil liners in a heart-shaped or standard muffin tin. Fill cups half full of
batter. Bake according to package directions for cupcakes. Cool for 10 minutes;
remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. For frosting, in a large
bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, shortening, vanilla, butter
flavoring if desired and milk until smooth. Divide frosting into fourths if
desired; place in four separate bowls. Leave one bowl untinted. Add one color of
food coloring to each of the other three bowls; stir until well blended. Frost
cupcakes. Pipe untinted frosting around edges and decorate tops with Valentine
