Devil’s Food Cupcakes

Ingredients
• Cherry pie filling
• 1 pound red chocolate melting wafers
• 1/4 cup vegetable shortening (melted)
• Black buttercream
• Black fondant

Procedure
1. Fill each cupcake with cherry pie filling by coring out the centre of the cupcake. Place "lid" of core back on top of the filling.
2. Pipe a tall swirl on to the top of the cupcake using the black buttercream, and a large open round tip (such as Wilton 1A)
3. Place cupcakes, with buttercream on top, into the fridge to solidify.
4. Melt red chocolate in the microwave for 60 second intervals, using 50% power. Stir between each interval, and continue until chocolate is smooth.
5. Melt vegetable shortening until a liquid (30s-60s) in the microwave.
6. Pour half of the liquid shortening into the melted chocolate, and stir to combine.
7. Remove cupcakes from the fridge and dip the buttercream cone portion into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off and place cupcake to the side to harden.
8. Roll small pea sized pieces of fondant into cone shapes and curve them slightly to resemble horns.
9. Dip the end of the horn into the melted chocolate, and press gently to either side of the red cone on the cupcake.
10. Serve cupcakes when ready, or store in a sealed container for 2-3 days.
