Be My Valentine – Conversation Heart Cake
Roses are red,
I heart cake,
and this is a cinch to make.
If you’re like me and the entire extent of your cake decorating repertoire starts and stops with applying frosting, don’t despair.
Who needs fancy roses and swirls when you can buy a box of cake mix, a can of frosting and a big bag of conversation hearts and whip up this beauty that will have people oohing and aahing at your mad culinary skills.
Whip up this cake with a batch of my Cupid Floats and you’ll work your way into everyone’s hearts.
Conversation Heart Cake
* Whip up your favorite cake – homemade or from a box (I won’t judge)
* Frost
* Apply conversation hearts (I used a big 35oz bag with some leftover to cover a two layer 9″ cake). Start at bottom and work your way around in circles ending at the top center of the cake.
* Admire your culinary skills and apply for the next season of Top Chef
See how to make an etched glass cake cover HERE (mine says “Let Them Eat Cake)!
TIP: when frosting a cake, tear off a few pieces of wax paper and place under the cake then frost. Remove wax paper when done for a no mess cake stand!
I heart it!
It’s fun and easy and really brightens up the kitchen.
Almost too cute to eat …
almost (sorry I’m talking with cake in my mouth).
