Process:
- First, preheat the oven to 350-degrees and prepare cupcake pan with liners.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set it aside for sometime to settle.

Place a piece of parchment onto a cookie sheet and pipe the candy melts into a 4-inch long banana shape, this will act as Salacious ears. Place the banana shaped-ears into freezer for approx. 10-15 minutes.
