How to make a heart-shaped mini cake.
If you want to get the heart shape of the cake in this post, it’s easy.
Just line a cupcake pan with 1 cupcake liner—the traditional, circle-shaped kind. Then, use an (affiliate link —->) silicone square cupcake liner.
Once they’re baked, cut the circular cupcake in half and trim up the square cupcake until they fit together as in the image below.
You can use thick frosting to “glue” the pieces together.
Ingredients
Food is magic! Nearly every ingredient in your pantry has a traditional use in spellcraft.
Many of the most common baking spices (cinnamon, ginger, cloves, ect) fit neatly into a kitchen witch love spell like this one.
Here’s a breakdown of the key ingredients in this recipe and their symbolism in witchcraft.
Vanilla
The preciousness of this spice corresponds to the rare and eternal nature of soulmates.
Add a splash to inspire feelings of warmth and generosity in your relationship.
Raspberry
They literally look like little hearts!
Raspberries represent the full sweetness of romantic love and add a bit of freshness to this otherwise deeply rich treat.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon serves as a staple love spell ingredient in everything from spell candles to incense and oils.
But its warm, spicy flavor makes it an especially ideal component in kitchen witch romance spells.
Ginger
The root of the ginger plant taps into the earth and concentrates the Element of Fire into one splendid spice.
In love magick, ginger adds passion and fire to your spell.
Chocolate
The chocolate industry capitalizes on chocolate’s reputation as an aphrodisiac right around Valentine’s Day.
But the kitchen witch uses it in love spells all year long.
In magic, chocolate symbolizes decadence and sensual pleasure.
