icing hearts

They come as ready-to-use spreadable tubs and whipped frostings, plus separate edible decorations such as heart-shaped sprinkles or candy bits.

Valentine’s-themed options include heart shapes in red, pink, and white.

Most tubs state they contain enough frosting to frost about 24 cupcakes.

Some frostings are labeled gluten-free, and one whipped frosting is labeled both kosher and gluten-free. Dietary labeling for the separate decorations is not clearly specified in the available details.

Most decorations are described as easy to use. Note that some types require peeling a paper backing off each piece (rather than simply pulling them off), which affects the application technique.

Formats include heart-shaped sprinkles, a container of heart-shaped candy bits included with some tubs, and separate paper-backed dot-style icing decorations sold as 24-count packs.
