The new silicone molds are actually great for making chocolate "cups" and the like. You can get them in just about any shape from hearts (keeping with the V-day theme here), flowers, diamonds, squares, traditional cupcake. No need to prep them other to make sure they are very clean and dry, then give them inside a good coating with chocolate. Let firm in the fridge, and carefully remove. I always manage to break one or two when removing them from the molds, so make a few extra. Alternatively you can make tuile cookies, which, when first removed from the oven, are pliable and can be shaped. You have to move quickly though, because they crisp up in seconds. Once you take them out of the oven, you immediately take off the tray, then drape over an upside-down bowl to give them a bowl shape. You can find good tuile recipes and instructions on epicurious.com.
