Sharing Your Heart with Others
By Dian Thomas
Valentine is a special time to share
your heart with others. You can do that in many ways. Here are
two of my favorite ways.
Heart Cake
Make a heart-shaped cake without
purchasing a special pan.
1 cake mix
1 9” round cake pan
1 9” square baking pan
2 can of white frosting
Cherry pie filling
Make cake batter according to package
directions and pour into greased and floured cake pans. Bake as
directed. Cool cake 10 minutes in pan on cooling rack. Remove
from pans.
Place the square cake diamond fashion
on the serving dish. Cut the round cake in half and place each
half with cut side next to a square side to form a heart. Frost
with white icing and make a border around the outer edge to hold
the filling. Top with cherry pie filling.
Heart-Shaped Cupcakes
It’s easy to make heart-shaped
cupcakes using your favorite recipe!
Cake batter
Paper baking cups
Marbles or aluminum foil
Line muffin pans with paper baking
cups and fill ½ full with batter. Place a marble or small
ball of aluminum foil in each cup between the paper liner and
the pan to make the heart-shaped mold. If the cups aren’t
about 2/3 full, add a little more batter. Don’t overfill
the cups or you’ll lose the heart shape. Bake as usual.
Frost the cupcakes, pile decorative frosting around the outside
to further define the heart shape, and decorate with Valentine
candies.
