If you can visualize the first layer, then you surely can see the top layer, it's the same way. Put the square cake in the middle, set like a diamond, with 1/2 rounds on each side of the top part of the diamond. Good luck, enjoy.

Somehow I'm not seeing the assembly of this cake in my minds eye. I can see the first square layer with the first (2) 1/2 round layers set in place to form the heart, but after that, my minds eye is shot! I cannot visualize the placement of the other square layer with the other (2) 1/2 round layers. I think it would be very nice if you could include a video for some of these more "construction" involved cakes/desserts. I'm usually quite good at construction too.
