Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating Hi, we developed this cake using two pans that most people have on hand so you don't have to purchase a heart pan. This cake is bigger than average due to using two pans - however, if you have two heart shaped pans, you could try that. We haven't tested it in the Test Kitchens, but if you decide to try, please let us know! Posted May 15, 2017 by Mallory Rating Can't you just use a heart cake pan? It would be so much easier!!

Posted May 15, 2017 Rating 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. Posted March 15, 2014 by Glenda B. Rating 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.
