Bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.⁠

Now for the fun part; decorating the mini cakes! I used a drop flower decorating tip to decorate the cooled cakes.

Simply fill a cake bag with frosting and decorate the top. You can also frost the cakes using a butter knife or flat spatula and smooth.

Top with sprinkles from the funfetti Valentine’s Day frosting.
