Necessities

• FunCakes Baking Cups White pk/48
• Wilton Recipe Right® Muffin Baking Pan 12 cupcakes
• Wilton Silicone Treat Mould Heart
• Dr.Oetker Pastry Brush with Wooden Handle 19,5x2,4 cm

Step 1: Preparation

Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F (160°C/320°F for fan ovens) and place the baking cups in the muffin tray.

Step 2: Prepare the Red Velvet Cake

Prepare 500 g (4 cups) of FunCakes Mix for Red Velvet Cake according to the instructions on the package. Pour the batter into the baking cups and bake for 19-23 minutes or until fully cooked. Let the cupcakes cool.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Coating

Melt the FunCakes Deco Melts according to the instructions on the package. Use a brush to coat the inside of the silicone mold with a layer of melted chocolate and let it harden in the refrigerator. Repeat this process at least three times until the chocolate coating is firm enough.

Step 4: Fill the Chocolate Hearts

Take 8 or 9 of the cooled cupcakes out of the baking cups and crumble them. Add some melted FunCakes Deco Melts to the crumbs and knead until a dough-like consistency forms.
Fill the chocolate hearts in the silicone mold with this dough, but don’t overfill the mold. Pour another layer of melted Deco Melts over the dough to fully enclose the hearts in chocolate. Let the chocolate hearts harden again in the refrigerator.

Step 5: Decorate the Chocolate Hearts

Carefully remove the hearts from the mold.
Melt some FunCakes Deco Melts Red according to the package instructions and add a drop of water to thicken the consistency slightly. This makes it easier to write with.
Fill a piping bag with the melted Deco Melts and decorate the hearts with your own sweet messages.
