Valentine’s Day Heart Cake

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I hope your day has gone well and you spent it with the ones you love. It isn’t all about being in a relationship. Just spend it with family and friends, and that’s good enough!

I actually got in the kitchen and made a little Valentine’s day cake for my family. It was just a box mix but hey, I don’t discriminate! I needed something quick!

I made this heart shaped cake by making a 9×9 square cake and also a 9 inch circle cake. When the cakes have cooled and is taken out of the pans you lay the square cake on your plate (or in my case aluminum foil covered cardboard postage box) in the shape of a diamond. Then you want to cute your circle cake layer in half. Try to make it as even as you can.

You can then even it up or leave it how you want! Frost and decorate. Or in my case, lay the second layer on top then re-frost and decorate!

The buttercream I made didn’t come out so well. I didn’t really expect it to. It’s always so darn cold in our kitchen in the winter time so it’s hard to get great results.

Anyway, I hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day! It’s good to be back posting!
