Mini Vanilla Cupcakes

T had a celebration in class for his teacher's birthday and really wanted to bring cupcakes to share with his class. So I made these, crossed my fingers and hopped that not only T but the rest of the class would enjoy them ...

THEY WERE A HIT!

The kids (and even the teachers) asked for seconds! These were pretty easy to make and when topped with the whipped cream cheese frosting are at a 3.56:1 ratio. I decorated these with left over Conversation(less) Hearts that I had made for Valentine's Day, but I think they are so cute and delicious with or without the heart
