Icing
2 Sticks of Unsalted Butter
1 tsp of Vanilla
3 Cups of Powdered Sugar

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix your ingredients according to the back of the box but substitute the milk and butter in place of the water and oil. Mix really well until no lumps and place in a piping bag (homemade or store bought piping bag). Once, its mixed well add your pink food color until you reach your desired pink color. Take a baking sheet and line with parchment paper. Now take a hear shaped cookie cutter (any size of your choice) and draw hearts onto your parchment paper. This will be the outline that you pipe your batter into to bake. Take your piping bag and pipe your batter in the shape of a heart inside of your outlined heart. You want to stay an inch or more away from the lines. The batter expands when it bakes. Now, pop into your oven and bake for 8 minutes. Place on a cooling rack or a counter top with wax paper to cool. Finish baking your remaining batter. Once cooled make your icing, place into a piping bag and fill your hearts! You now have a whoopie Pie!
