Instructions
- Melt the red chocolate

- Push them up against the top of the heart lollipop to make ears
- Using your toothpick, pick up some melted chocolate and dab some on the back of the candy eyes
- Set them onto the lollipop so the chocolate can harden
- Make a smile with the gel frosting
- Let the lollipop set on the counter so the chocolate and frosting can dry and harden.
- Meanwhile, decorate your cupcake with white frosting in a piping bag with a star tip.
- You'll want to squeeze frosting out of the tip, holding it vertically above the cupcake. Stop squeezing and lift up to make a point. Repeat that all over the cupcake.

- Add three more mini heart lollipops to the back of the cupcake as the love bug's body.
