Heart Cake

Gross?? Absolutely!! This is by far one of the weirdest cakes I have ever made. I received a request for a heart cake for a science project. Not just any "heart". But an "anatomically correct" one. I talked my client out of the red velvet flavor!! lol... I really had a hard time letting this one go! It was yellow butter cake, brushed with Parrot Bay rum, filled with pineapple, coconut and Italian meringue buttercream. Thanks for peeking.

Gross, and very real. I wonder what grade the kid will get for your work? :wink:

As a mom of a "heart baby" this is probably one of the most understandable models of a heart I've ever seen :lol: And I think its much more fascinating than it is gross. GREAT job!
