2 Tier Cake: Heart On Square? Heart On Round?

I think either would look nice, however I would want the heart much smaller than either the square or the round.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. I'm going to be making a cake soo (for 10/1
for the confirmations at church and instead of doing a sheet cake, I thought of doing a large round (or square) with a 6" heart in the middle with a stand-up gumpaste cross in the middle of the heart. Then deco with flowers and scrolls/cornelli etc. I just can't decide whether to do a round or a square. Hmmm. Might have to play "pile the pans" to see which looks better. Although hearts are a bear to ice sometimes and so are squares to I might make it easier on myself and do the round bottom tier! 
I did a square with a small heart offset to the corner, and I thought it looked nice. when I was playing stack the pans, for some reason a heart on top of a round just didn't look right to me 
so I went with the square.

I would do a square bottom with a heart centered on tip and the point of the heart lined up with the point of the square (so the square is a diamond). Does that make sense? The first wedding cake I ever made was kinda like that. Sort of... with pillars... and split. Hard to describe. It's the green one in my pics.
