Very pretty! The only cooking is just heating the frosting until it is
pourable.
1 prepared pound cake, 1 tub prepared vanilla frosting, Red food coloring
1 tube chocolate decorative frosting, with plain tip for writing
1 (14 oz) bag M&M'S Milk Chocolate Candies for Valentine's Day
You will also need: wire cooling rack, waxed paper, 2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter and a glass measuring cup.
Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper and top with a wire cooling rack; set aside. Cut pound cake into 1-inch thick slices. Using the heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out cake using cookie cutter. Place the heart-shaped cake pieces on top of the wire cooling rack.
Spoon 1/4 cup of vanilla frosting into a resealable plastic bag and set aside. Tint the remaining frosting to a light shade of pink using food color and spoon it into a glass measuring cup. Heat the pink frosting in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds, or until pourable. DO NOT OVERHEAT. Pour the pink frosting over the heart-shaped cake pieces, covering the tops and the sides, reuse the drippings and
reheat, if necessary. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
Snip a tiny corner of the resealable plastic bag filled with the white frosting, and use it to pipe designs on the tops and sides of the heart-shaped cake pieces. Add candies to make different designs, then pipe messages on the tops with the decorative chocolate frosting.
