happy heart's day ta da
my heart cake as promised
the good....
the outside
the individual slices
the bad...
not so" heart like" when looking at it from this angle
I call it my wonky square heart
{but it does look like lips...... kiss cake?}
the UGLY......
first attempt making the white cake
{which should of been the easiest part}
I failed miserably
could not get the cake out of the
pans without it
breaking into pieces
but
second attempt I got it right
my favorite part....the red velvet
Happy Valentine's Day

I would call this a stunning success . . . good, bad and ugly all considered! I was wondering if I could actually eat a slice, as beautiful as it was, and then remembered the inside was Red Velvet, and I knew I could!
I would say you did a great job! Wonky hearts are still better than no heart! Very nice work Koralee! :)
Happy Valentine's Day to you!!
Farmgirl Hogs and Quiches!

God Bless you... I love that you took us along for the ride. I'm guessing a few nibbles along the way. Now, here's just what I think.....
Think.... Kiss, Kiss or :-* :-*
Because your center looks like a big sweet pair of RED LIPS.
No cakes here, just Frangos and a Cute Fat Pig.

Kate - The Garden Bell
Oh My! That looks incredible! I knew you would pull it off. :)
And the wonky squares, well, each person only sees their individual slices right? Se that's all that counts. It's perfect.
I didn't make a cake, but I made chocolate candy with hearts. To be added to my blog later today if I can finish my grant work. *sigh*
I say Bravo! I love that you showed the ugly, I have lots of those :) Obviously it is filled with love no matter how the heart looks.
Happy Heart's Day to you as well! So glad we made it another year as bloggie friends. LOVE how your uplifting and happy blog always touches/blesses my heart. =)
Hugs!
Koralee, you are amazing! Happy, happy Valentines, you're getting the MVS baker award, i love your cake and think it came out GREAT! Hope your family enjoyed it very much!
My cake is up on my blog at Delights of the Heart. It was great fun and I am loving seeing yours. Happy Valentine's to you dear Koralee.
WOW!
Wonky and Ugly Cakes are my limit...
Happy Valentines Day ♥
Not wonky at all. You did a a great job!
happy V day!
Ashlyn
Ahhhh, I love it! Your sliced piece looks fantastic. And, I think your wonky square heart is really cute too! All I have to say is "yuuuuum"! Happy Valentine's Day, sweet lady!

Koralee, Your cake looks wonderful! I'll admit I gave it a try, but I used a mix. They were out of red velvet at two grocery stores :(so the heart is strawberry cake. That's OK, pink suits me.:) Mine came out quite "wonky" too, but photographed at the right angle it's not so bad! I posted a quick pic this morning before I left for school.
Our third grade teacher who became a widow several years ago got engaged today...during recess! He brought flowers, got down on one knee, presented her with a beautiful diamond and asked her to marry him! What a sweet, romantic man! Love is in the air!
Hope your day is full of sweet surprises, some romance, and LOTS OF LOVE!
Blessings!
Your cake is beautiful! So the middle doesn't look a heart but red lips (that is a happy accident) So perfect for valentines day.
xo,
Danielle
I think it looks not like a wonky heart,
but like a big pair of red smoochy lips!
Perfect for valentine's day:)
Happy day friend, talk to you very soon!
xoxo c
That picture of the slice is AMAZING!!!! & your ugly is nothing compared to what mine might be!!! :) So glad you made it & hope it tastes 1/2 as good as it looks!!! YUM!!! Great Job! Off to visit the other girls & see their cakes!
I'm not a baker so next year I want someone to be extra nice and bake one of these heart cakes for me. ;-)
DI
Super cool cake, I love it!!!!
I love your cake -- have a very happy day!!
Happy Valentine's Day Koralee!
I think this cake is perfect!
It is nice to know I'm not
the only one who has failures with things :)
THis is something that would happen to me lol !
Gorgeous cake!!!!
Pamela xo
Your cake look great!! I hate when cake's fall apart when trying to get them out of the pan :(
Happy V-day
My oldest daughter and I had a "date" to make this cake on Saturday. We stopped by my office, printed off all of the pictures and instructions. Headed to a fancy shmancy store in Salt Lake for new cake pans and a cake slicer ... long story short, it didn't happen. We had to abandon ship before we even set sail. We ran out of time and energy before we even made it back home. :(
I think your's look pretty FaNtaStic Koralee!!!! YAY for you for following through and doing it!!! xoxoxo
Happy Valentine's Day!
You did great Koralee (as I knew you would!) I love, love, love red velvet cake, looks delish! Happy Valentine's Xoxoxo
Your cake turned out amazingly heavenly, Koralee! Oh my. I love love LOVE that second picture in particular. Enjoy every bite!
My cake was a big failure and I cannot stand it. I will manage though one fine day in the far far future.
Huge hugs for a loveliest of Valentines xoxoxoxoxo
Girl, I'm just blown plumb off the haywagon with this one!!! Wow...I'm impressed!!!
My mom used to have one of those checkerboard cake pans that I always thought was the coolest thing ever. It truly doesn't take much to entertain me. Heeeheheh!!!
Thanks for sharin' your beautiful Valentine cake sweetie...now will ya please pass me a fork??? :o)
God bless and have a marvelous Valentine's Day!!!
I am still incredibly impressed. What a cake!!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Looks so good!!!! Sorry no cake baking here hubby and I are trying to loose 10 pounds!
Wow! I think you did a great job with the cake! It definitly looks like a heart inside! And it looks sooo yummy :)
I love the heart cake!!! =)

Such a pretty cake! I just shared a slice of red velvet cream cheese cake with my daughter! So yummy! Have a wonderful day.
How cool is that?! I've never seen anything quite like that cake. I'm impressed!
next year I'm with you lady-heart-cake-bakers .
Good idea ! Looks so yummie .... Can almost taste it overhere !
Lots of love and happy valentine greetings
what a special cake - too good to eat....as if you can EVER say that about a cake!
I can't bake at the moment as the thermostat has gone on my oven and it only cooks in nuclear terms.
On the upside: I can cook a jacket potato in ten minutes flat!!!
Happy Valentines to you too

I was going to say that the wonky Heart still turned out fab as a pair of lucious lips instead! Even your 'mistakes' are lovely, thanks for saving me a piece. *winks* Enjoying cake this way is guilt free. *LOL*
Happy Valentine's Day... Dawn... The
Bohemian
I think you did a fabulous job and I wish I had a piece right now!
Bravo on your beautiful cake and way to not give up! It looks gorgeous and I'm sure it tastes the same! Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours! I hope you're feeling the love today dear friend.
Koralee,
You make me laugh! Your ugly is really pretty good. Now I am very hungry and want some cake really badly! I think I might even get into the chocolates I got for Jud. He won't notice one gone ;-)
Hugs,
Suz
Your cake "photo shoot" pics are soooo pretty, Koralee.
They really look like beautiful magazine photos. If a local bakery here had advertisements that look half as pretty as these photos, I'd be there!
Koralee, your cake looks wonderful... Your "wonky square heart" actually looks like pretty red lips ;o)
It looks delicious too ~
Everyone's cake came out so nice! I'm off to leave comments now ~
Happy Valentine's Day to a very dear ♥
~love,
Maria
Koralee,

Hi Koralee,

Happy Valentine's Day to you and your husband,

Hi Koralee,
Your cake looks divine, love the red heart, well done dear friend. I bet it tasted yummy too.
I baked a chocolate cake, with melted chocolate icing and we had whipped cream with it.
Happy Valentines day and hope that it is sprinkled with much love.
I adore the sweet Valentine card you gave me, thank you so much and I will put it on my inspiration board and think of you when I see it.
Hugs
Carolyn
That is one impressive cake. I don't understand how you did it, but I dig it.
It does look like lips...just pretend you did that on purpose. The main thing is, did it taste as good as it looks!
I'm thoroughly impressed! I love making desserts but this one scared me no end. You've done a great one. Happy Valentine's day!!
This cake is truly amazing!! And your photography is gorgeous! What a beautiful and inspiring blog! And happy Valentine's Day to you!
xoEsther
YOU DID IT!!!
You totally rocked it! And the only angle that it maybe didn't look like a heart...you made it into a kissable little pair of lips!! You are a wonder!!
Hope you had a Happy Valentine's Day!!! :)
Wow, you really did a good job. I bet it was really difficult to make. As long as it tasted yummy :)
Hope you had a lovely valentines day.
Do yo think you would ever attempt this cake again?
Rose
ah! that's so fantastic!! what an unbelievably hard project to accomplish, but you did so beautifully. i actually really love that it looks like big, kissable lips, but then a heart for the slices. so fun!
It´s a lovely cake - much better than I´d manage to make! :-)
I just HAD to come by for another slice of sweetness, gentleness and love....have a happy day dear heart! Anita
Hooray! What a great job! Your cake, your photos, your post, all is so wonderful Koralee :)
I hope your Valentine's was full of sweet love :)
Natasha

Koralee,
Your enthusiasm for cooking up beautiful desserts is contagious. I'm going to have to work on getting better at this by Amelia's 3rd birthday.
I've never seen a cake like this; it's no surprise that you are the one to introduce the idea to me!
Mandy
You did WONDERFUL! I wish I could have eaten a piece of this. I would be happy forever! This has not been a cake-making kind of week for me.....just getting over the flu :(
Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's day!! The cake is amazing and I think the inside looks like -- lips--how cool is that. xxx susan
So darling!
I think I'd
be a chicken to
try making this!
Love it. xo
