Hello conchita lovers! If you're searching for the ideal DIY gift for your Valentine this year, look no further—I've got you covered with some delicious and beautiful Heart Conchas. In this post, I'll provide you with all the necessary information you need to put together these heart shaped conchas so that you can make your Valentine feel super special!

What is concha topping made of? Concha topping consists of flour, sugar, butter, and flavorings. They key to making cute designs with the concha paste is to chill the paste in the fridge until you’re ready to roll your concha dough. If the concha paste is too warm it will melt off the dough when baked.

Why is your concha topping too sticky?
Prevent sticky concha topping by using powdered or gel colors only. If you’re adding flavorings such as extracts, that will add extra moisture to the concha topping causing it to get sticky. To fix that, add additional flour a little at a time until the topping is no longer sticky.


Why are your conchas dense/hard? To get soft conchas you cannot over knead your dough and you cannot rush the proofing process. Knead the dough just until it starts coming off the sides on your bowl. Allow for the dough to rise for at least 2 hours the first rise and at least 1 hr the second rise after your conchas are shaped.
