Best Way To Make Heart Shaped Cake?
Decorating By cakegirl1973 Updated 12 Feb 2011 , 8:06pm by cheatize
I just received a last minute order for Monday of a 10" heart shaped cake. I don't have a heart shaped pan. I am thinking about either carving the shape from a 10" round pan or carving 2 6" cakes (one for each half) and putting them together. Any advice as to which approach is best? TIA!
You should carve it from a 12-inch round to compensate for the servings you'll be hacking off. Unless the cake really can't be more than 10 inches because of the cake plate or some other requirement.
From some of my old birthday cake books, there is a way to make a heart by using a square on the diagonal and then cut a round in half and add to the curves to the two top sides of the square. Hope that makes sense.

Oh my gosh! You just sent me back a bazillion years! That's how I made the heart-shaped cake for my hubby for Valentine's while we were still dating. We've been married 25 years.
