Ok this isn't really a recipe but I made these last weekend and my family all loved them.

1 angelfood cake mix prepared according to pkg directions
Frosting
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cube butter, room temperature
3 Tblsp Marschino Cherry juice
1 tsp almond extract
decorating sprinkles
These make a light fluffy cake with a light fluffy frosting. Yum!
I used heart shaped silicone baking cups. It will make about 30 cupcakes. Place baking cups on a large baking sheet. Add a large heaping spoonful of batter into each cup. Before putting in the oven, pound the baking sheet on the counter several times to remove air bubbles from the batter.
Bake on second to lowest rack in the oven for 15-18 minutes until lightly browned on top at 375 degrees. Cool on wire racks. While they are cooling, mix up the frosting.
Beat butter until light and fluffy. Add cherry juice and almond extract. Add 2 cups powdered sugar and beat until smooth and creamy.
Remove cakes from baking cups. Turn over and frost the bottom as it will be a more defined heart.
Sprinkle with decorations if you like.
