1. Prepare your favorite cake mix or batter, making sure you have enough for a two-layer cake.

2. Put half the batter in the square cake pan and half the batter in the round cake pan. Bake as directed and let cool.

3. Prepare a platter, cookie sheet or cardboard base for the cake. It should be about 15” x 15”. Cover with aluminum foil or paper doilies.

4. Place the square layer on the platter so one corner faces down, forming a diamond shape.

5. Cut the round layer in half. Place the cut side of each half against the upper sides of the square layer to form a heart.

6. Frost the cake to cover the seams and decorate with colored frosting, sprinkles, candy hearts or whatever you like.
