Cute right? I think it is perfect for Valentines Day don't you? Yeah, well this little ditty gave me a workout. But the upside is you get to learn from my mistakes. Here are a list of errors you can avoid since I made them for you:First mistake: I was trying to make the cake while caring for my ailing child.
Second mistake: I didn't level the cake off.
Third mistake: I didn't put it on a cake board.
Fourth mistake: I tried to fill a cake without making a damn around the edge.
By the way, this is a chocolate cake (out of a box) filled with raspberry jam (from a jar) iced with chocolate frosting (from a can) and garnished with melted white chocolate. So, if you heed the warnings above, you can throw this together on the fly too:-)

OMG! That looks yummy! I just happen to have heart shaped pans, and chocolate raspberry cakes are my fave! I think I will make this for my boys on Valentines day.
Good lessons Susie. The cake is a real Cutie.
There is absolutely no way I could pull that off! I know it!!!
That is so beautiful!
That is awesome. But how did you make the shape? Did you use a heart shaped pan?

Awesome...Susie, even your mistakes look lovely. Great job!
OH.MY.GOSH! That looks absolutely delicious! and the bonus to messing up means you get to eat extra, right????
I guess the thing with making mistakes is that we can figure out how NOT to do it next time. I think it looks great though!
