How to make a heart paperclip
Heres how to make a heart paperclip topper, simply bend a paper clip into shape with your hands. The heart is an easy three bends. First, bend the long side over and out, then shape the second side inward to make the heart. Third, twist out the bottom to stick into cakes, cupcakes, and treats of any kind.
For a yummy chocolate treat, make this easy Lava Cake!
The cakes are especially wonderful right out of the oven so if you plan to have them after dinner it is best to chill the batter in the cupcake tray and stick in the oven to bake and serve hot!
