For our Valentine's Day baking activity I came up with this cute little treat perfect for a morning or afternoon tea break with your loved ones. I have been wanting to try making jelly cakes with Bear and Bee for a while. Then I saw the idea for making heart shaped cupcakes using marbles on a cooking site and knew I could combine the two ideas. The result? Very cute heart shaped jelly cakes.
Here's what to do.

2. Cream butter and sugar.
3. Add eggs and beat well.
4. Mix in flour and milk.
5. Fill the paper cases with cake mix. Only fill them about 1/2 full otherwise there will be too much cake to form a heart shape.

6. Place a marble into each cupcake tin hole between the tin and the paper case to form the heart shape.
7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
8. Cool cakes on a wire rack.
9. Stir jelly crystals and boiling water in a bowl until the crystals have dissolved. Stir in the cold water and refrigerate for an hour or until cold and thick.
10. Place coconut onto a plate. Dip each cake into the jelly and coat well. Allow excess to drain and then roll in the coconut. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until set.
