Happy Valentine's Day!

To all those moms out there that know what it is to spend a few hours in the ER removing candy from various body orifices...this Valentine is for you.

Easy Heart-Shaped Cake

My, this year is going rather fast. It's kind of scary but I won't dwell on that since it will lead to my thinking about how old I am getting and that is never a good thing. :-)

Well, like I said in a previous post, I've been reading Shannon's "Rock in my Dryer" blog lately. She has a great little thing going called "What Works for me Wednesdays" and today is a Valentine's day theme so I wanted to share my idea. I wanted to share with you a little trick I learned in middle school. I've been using it every Valentine's Day since. It's a heart-shaped cake and it's soooo easy!

Since it's not valentine's day just yet, the photos I am posting are not mine. The link below will take you to the recipe and instructions from Betty Crocker. It was actually a 1990 Betty Crocker ad and instructions in a Family Circle magazine that got me started with this. Check it out. Your kids will love it and will think you are a genius!
