Fortunately for me, and for my family, I made these tasty little cakes before I came down with the cold from Hell. Which then turned into bronchitis. You really don't want to know much more of the details.
But these little cakes were delicious! They were easy to make and super tasty. I made them in individual heart shaped silicon cupcake holders and got 15. The only problem was that I only had 12 little heart shaped cups. The last three ended up in my silicon cups with feet. I know. I should have taken a photo. But I was busy eating them.
I made Wendy's vanilla ice cream recipe, mostly because I got a little lazy and didn't feel like dealing with eggs. As a last minute addition I added a tablespoon of rosewater that I picked up last time I visited my mom. If you like the taste of eating roses this makes a pretty good ice cream too! I didn't want the ice cream to overpower the chocolate cakes so I molded little tiny ice cream hearts.
This was a fun one!
and here's the fine print!

Pretty, pretty little hearts! And I love the addition of ice cream!
This sounds delicious Mary. I still may have the chance to bake it:D
Great idea to flavor the ice cream with rose water. It sounds like a perfect flavor to go with the cute little cakes!
I used to get bronchitis once a year. Hopefully, you'll recover soon. And if not, eating enough cupcakes to put you in a sugar coma is a good way to not care anymore.
Pairing chocolate with Roses how perfectly appropriate!!
Rose ice cream sounds divine with chcolate. So glad you are felling better.
The rosewater ice cream sounds good, Mary. Can I have a scoop?
Oh how sweet! A tiny heart on top of a chocolate one.
Hope you feel better soon.
