Happy Valentine's Day to My wonderful Husband!
Roses are Red!
Cakes are so sweet.
YOU'VE got them beat!
Make a batch of Red Velvet Cake.
You can use a box mix or my favorite
recipe. My favorite red velvet cake is here.

Stir it all together.
Pour into a greased 9x13 pan,or any rectangluar or square size.
Bake until done and cool.
Roll a small amount of fondant about 1/2" thick.
Using a large heart cutout cut 5 hearts.
I did a few different pastel colors.
Chill for a few minutes until it hardens.
Next, take a large scoop of piping gel.
Mix with fuscia gel color to get a bright pink.
You can also use red but I've found fuscia makes the pinkest color.
With a small tipped brush carefully paint your love messages!
For Life I'll Love You
You're the Rock to my Roll.
If you said you wouldn't Be Mine,
That would just be awful!

Edible markers would also work instead of piping gel.
Chill until the fondant hardens again and the gel sets up.
Once the cake has cooled use the same size heart cut out and cut 10 hearts.
Each heart cake will be two layers of cake and frosting.

Freeze them for a bit, an hour or even overnight
(depending when you need to use them)
The cakes will be much easier to stack up evenly when chilled.
Spread your favorite white or cream cheese frosting out between a sheet of parchment paper. Fold the paper over and smooth out the top to make an even layer. Chill the frosting.
Trim your hearts so two will stack evenly and nicly together.
Once the frosting is chilled. Dip your heart cut out in powdered sugar and cut out frosting middles.
(I won't say anything cheesy about holding my heart in your hand)
Fill the heart sandwiches. I drizzled a simple sryup (2 tbs sugar dissolved in 2 tbs water and cooled) on the cakes, just to ensure they wouldn't dry out before I served them.
Position the heart messages on top, and that's it!
Happy Valentine's Day! Mwwahh!
