Let them eat heart cake

[rivers_bend]

One of the women I work with has decided she's had enough of her long commute, so today was her last day. We had a little pot-luck thing for lunch, and I decided I had to make this cake. Only I made the hearts chocolate instead of pink. It came out really well, and I was excited.

Instead of food colouring for the first cake, I added 4 heaped tablespoons cocoa powder to the mix, and an extra tablespoon of milk. And for the frosting, I mixed the juice of one clementine with enough powdered sugar to make a thick glaze (maybe 1.5 cups? idek. I mostly just tossed some in a bowl.)

That is really cool! I don't think I'd have the patience to do it myself.

It actually took remarkably little effort and time, all things considered! :D

[rivers-bend.livejournal.com]

You so should! It was actually quite easy. and it could have pumpkin inside on halloween, or turkey on thanksgiving... :D

OMG that is so cool! So do you need to cut the pieces of the finished cake to approximately the same width as the heart-pieces, or does it all kind of flow together? THIS SEEMS SO MAGICAL TO ME.
