3. Arrange paper cases in a metal bun tin. Divide the mixture between the cases and bake at 180°C (350°F) Gas 4 for about 15 - 20 minutes. Cool.
4. To make the icing, cream together the butter and icing sugar. Gradually beat in the cooled, melted chocolate.
5. Starting 6 mm (1/4 in) from the edge, remove the top of each cake by cutting in and slightly down to form a cavity.
6. Pipe a little icing in the cavity of each cake.
7. Sprinkle the reserved cake tops with a little icing sugar and cut each one in half. Position each half on the icing to form wings.
8. Pipe small rosettes of icing in the centre of each cake, and top with a small blob of raspberry jam or half a glace cherry.
