Valentine's Hearts

What better way to say Be Mine than with cake and everyone's favorite Valentine Conversation Hearts. I wanted this cake to celebrate the girliest holiday of them all inside and out. So when you cut out a slice you will reveal a bright pink strawberry cake. What a fun surprise! 


The great thing out this festive cake is that no special tools or tips are required. All you need to wow your valentine is the following:

• One box strawberry cake mix
• One can vanilla frosting
• One 6" cake pan (Baking tip: when trying to fit a whole cake mix into such a small ban, line the edges of the pan with notebook paper and leave an extra 2-3'' above the edge of the pan. This extends the height of your pan, allows the cake to rise evenly, and prevents the batter from spilling over the edge.)
• 6 boxes of Conversations Hearts (You will only use about 5 boxes worth but have the extra allows you to pick and choose the best looking one to put on your cake.)
• 2 candy sticks or skewers
• An 8" piece of ribbon
• Glue 
• Construction Paper 
• Scissors
• Markers

Don't worry the last few items don't get baked into the cake, those are just for making your Be Mine banner cake topper.

Show 12 of your favorite sweetheart how much you love them by inviting them over to share a piece of this sweet treat. 

Happy Valentine's Day!
