This is a heart cake that my 5 yr old son decorated. He wanted to make a heart cake for valentines day I of course agreed to do so thinking that with him being 5 he will change his mind or forget. Once I was reminded that MY 5 yr old never seems to forget anything I then realized that we do not have a heart pan. I remembered an old trick my mom once taught me. You can take a normal square cake pan and a round cake pan and turn it into a heart! You bake both cakes using either a store bought cake mix or a homemade mix. Divide the batter equally into the two pans and bake as you normally would. You then turn the cakes out to cool on a rack. Once cooled you cut the circle into two equal pieces and place them on two sides of the square cake. Ice your cake (or do as I did and allow the 5 yr old to ice the cake) add a few sprinkles and TA DA!!! Heart cake! Hope your little ones have as much fun as mine did!
