heart-shaped-cake-5Have you ever seen fab heart shaped cakes that are for sale for Valentines Day? It’s only January and I am already starting to see them everywhere. I always wondered how to make a heart shaped cake, I just figured out how to do it and want to share what I’ve learned with you.

 

heart-shaped-cake-2You need 1 square cake and one circle cake. If you have a square pan and a circle pan that’s great but if not you can bake a larger cake and shape it into 1 square and 1 circle yourself. Next cut the circle in half and place your square down like a diamond then add the tow circles to the top making your heart.

 

stem_iron-1Here is a great little tip if you are having a hard time getting your cake to come smoothly out of the pan… Lay out a sheet of wax paper and gently turn the entire pan over onto it. Next, cover the bottom of the pan with a dish towel and iron it with a hot steam iron. After a few minutes the cake will heat up just enough to cleanly come out of the pan.
