Kids In The Kitchen: Chocolate and Strawberry Heart Cupcakes.

Happy Mother's Day lovelies! I have been ridiculously busy as usual (the life of a mother is never a dull one!) But I managed to find time today to bake these cute little love heart chocolate and strawberry cupcakes with the help of Lil Miss 5!

Buttercream Fail occurs!! Melted, lop sided and just doesn't look right anymore! What's the secret?
So how do my cupcakes still look perfectly piped even after 2 hours sitting on the dessert table? How do I make buttercream covered cakes that keep their shape and colours don't run at outdoor summer birthday parties?
