Return to the top right and repeat the motion on the right side, mirroring the first stroke to complete a symmetrical heart.<\/li><li><strong>Smooth the Heart with Parchment Paper<\/strong><br \/>Lightly press a piece of parchment paper on top of the buttercream heart to flatten the surface.<\/li><li><strong>Chill the Cupcakes<\/strong><br \/>Place the cupcakes in the fridge or freezer for a short time to firm up the buttercream.
