Valentine Cupcakes

February 8, 2013 by Sharon Zambito 12 Comments

Hello Sugar Babies!

I just could not let Valentine’s day go by without sharing a little love with you guys. You all fill my heart with so much joy, I want to give a little back to you.

 

I heart you.

 

These sweet cupcakes are really easy. Just roll out your fondant and cut heart shapes with your favorite cutters. Cut out some red blossoms as well. The metal cutters pictured above I have had forever and have no idea where they came from. But I can tell you that the black heart cutters are made by Patchwork and can be found here.

 

 

While the fondant is still soft, impress your message of love with plastic hobby stamps. Note: please make sure your stamps are food safe if the item will be eaten!

 

 

Let that dry thoroughly (overnight). Then dust the impressions with a darker shade of pink petal dust with a thin pointy brush. Then a dusting of luster dust in your shade of choice finishes off the piece.

 

 

 

These cupcakes were baked in the heart shaped silicone baking cups by Wilton. I got them at Hobby Lobby. I love those cups! I use them for all kinds of stuff. (And a little birdie told me that we will have a video in the members’ area that shows you how to make a stunning dessert with these 🙂

 

 

If you don’t have stamps, or just don’t feel like doing that, you can just make pretty heart toppers for your cupcakes.

 

 

 

Love is in the air.

 

I hope you will 🙂

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine Flourless Chocolate Cake

February 27, 2009 by Sharon Zambito 9 Comments


 

 I had never made a flourless chocolate cake before so this was new to me. It was very easy to do as well. Since I am such a loser wife, and did not get dear hubby a real gift, this was his Valentine’s day treat. And being a double loser, he did not even get it until the day after Valentines. Poor shmuck.

 
 

 
It is extremely dense and rich, soft on the inside, and basically tastes like ganache. I served mine on a pool of raspberry coulis. OK, we all know I did not make coulis from scratch. I used sleeved raspberry pastry filling and blended it with water and some granulated sugar in my food processor. Worked and tasted great!

 

 

 

Hubby, who is a very picky dessert eater, liked this one very much.

 

 

I was way too busy to make ice cream, so I chose the option to use whipped cream (aka Cool Whip). Hey, I am a very busy lady!

 

Chocolate Valentino
 Preparation Time: 20 minutes

 

16 ounces (1 pound) (454 grams) of semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
½ cup (1 stick) plus 2 tablespoons (146 grams total) of unsalted butter
5 large eggs separated

 

1. Put chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water) and melt, stirring often

 

2. While your chocolate butter mixture is cooling. Butter your pan and line with a parchment circle then butter the parchment.

 

3. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites and put into two medium/large bowls.

 

4. Whip the egg whites in a medium/large grease free bowl until stiff peaks are formed (do not over-whip or the cake will be dry).

 

5. With the same beater beat the egg yolks together.

 

6. Add the egg yolks to the cooled chocolate.

 

7. Fold in 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture and follow with remaining 2/3rds. Fold until no white remains without deflating the batter.

 

8. Pour batter into prepared pan, the batter should fill the pan 3/4 of the way full, and bake at 375F/190C

 

9. Bake for 25 minutes until an instant read thermometer reads 140F/60C. Note – If you do not have an instant read thermometer, the top of the cake will look similar to a brownie and a cake tester will appear wet.

 

10. Cool cake on a rack for 10 minutes then unmold.

 

It was easy and delish and I recommend you give it a try!

 

Until next time,
Sharon
