A method of manufacturing a coated food product, such as a decorated cake, is disclosed in which a mould is lined with a coating (S2), such as icing or chocolate. A food product batter is then placed within the lined mould (S5) and cooked by means of volumetric heating (S6). After cooking, the coated food product is cooled (S7) and subsequently removed from the mould (S10). The method may be realised by inline processes and enables the manufacture of coated food products having complex designs that would not otherwise have been contemplated by automated means. A ready-to-cook product is also disclosed which enables domestic users to prepare a coated food product by heating the product in microwave oven, without the need to separately prepare and add the coating after the food product has been cooked. |
