How to Make a Heart Shaped Valentine Cake
by Jane Lake
You don't need a heart shaped cake pan to make a heart shaped Valentine cake - just improvise with more readily available square and round cake pans.
You will need:
1. Prepare and bake a square cake and a round cake. Let both cakes cool.
2. Cut the round cake in half.
3. Following our diagram, place the square cake on a plate or serving board so that it becomes a diamond shape.4. Position the two half circle cakes, as shown, on either side of the top part of the diamond to form a heart-shaped cake. Cut and trim, if needed, to make the cake sections fit together properly.
5. Cover the cake with icing and decorate as desired.
I didn't even think of this way to make a heart shaped cake! It is so clever and obvious! For the following comments below, I agree, I didn't want to buy a specific cake pan either!
I have a Valentine's Day function at my son's school-I'm sure this will be a hit! I'm SO glad I don't have to purchase a heartshaped pan!
This is great!! My little boy will love this!!
Thank you so much. Such a simple idea. I didn't want to purchase a heart cake pan. I knew there has to be any easy way to do this.
i love this...i don't have to buy a heart shaped pan for just 1 idea!
