Try It Tuesday - Cake for Your Valentine.

Hey!
Do y'all read Craft Gossip?
Why not?

It's a daily collection of short blogs that encompasses almost every aspect of crafting.
I loves it! 
So many ideas, so little time.

The other day I stumbled across this entry:

Well, I do love my pound cake. 
I think I make a mighty fine one indeed.

But look what Toni Dash of  Boulder Locavore did to her pound cake!

Isn't that pretty?

I just had to make this for BillHubby in honor of Yucky Mushy Stuff Day  
St Valentine's Day.
Neither of us ever make a fuss about this "Hallmark Cards Holiday."
But BillHubby has a sweet tooth.

I used two box cakes mixes.
One Red Velvet and one Devil's Food.


I did stray on one aspect. 
I didn't cut the red cake into slices. 
I used my cookie cutter to cut one 
big ol hunk of heart shaped cake.

 It was awkward.

It worked but I think if I decide to bake this again -
and I probably will - I will invest in one of those heart shaped baking tubes.

BillHubby also thinks a cake isn't done until it is frosted.
I used canned Cream Cheese Frosting.

Happy St Valentine's Day!!
