How to Make Valentine Love Potion Cupcakes

Funny how inspiration strikes at the strangest circumstances. Like these love potion cupcakes. 

I was busy deleting spam comments from my blog when an interesting phrase caught my attention. If I remember correctly is says "Love potion blah blah blah". I wish I could have saved the whole comment but I can't find it now. All I can remember was the phrase "love potion" and just like in the movies (or TV), bulb dinged on my head and an idea for a Valentine post was born. 

Ahh.. love potion, in Filipino - gayuma, how can I transform it into cupcakes? How do they really look like? Is this something one applies like a perfume or something that can be drunk so one can attract someone? I was thinking mine should be a literal version - a cauldron overfilled with hearts with some hearts literally jumping out of it.
