hey everyone im new to making cakes so recently i bought a cake mix along with decorative icing and i was wondering if it was possilble to cut the cake in half and put icing in the middle and put the other half on top,,,,or, if it was possible to cut the cake into a shape of a heart and then decorate it..thank you!!
both options are possible. if you cut it into a heart shape, just use a really good knife and i would have the cake really chilled- it's easier.
it is completely possible to cut the cakes in half and put icing in the middle. It's called "torting" and I do it to all my cakes.
It takes a little bit of patience and a steady hand the first few times.

this page has WAAAAY to much reading if you ask me, but if you scroll most of the way down, you'll see a picture and the directions are all there.
People DO cut shapes out and ice it after, but it's a challenge to keep crumbs out of the icing. Definetly do a crumb coat of icing before putting the actual icing all the way on.
