Jump to the recipe Print version
This is one of the cutest things i have seen on Pinterest
and I had to make one!!
I wanted to add some cream cheese to the pound cake mixture because it gives it that extra deliciousness!
You will need to make TWO pound cakes for this recipe
The first one is what we are going to use for the ‘hearts’ inside.
Do some clean slicing because that is what we are going to use the cookie cutter on!
You can choose whatever color you want for the heart!
The more drops of food color, the deeper the color.
After using the cookie cutter, you stack them like this^
Never too much sweet glaze 😀
Look how adorable that is!!
Everyone LOVED this! Its so cute!
Great for Valentines Day!
Even for a baby shower surprise where you could do the center blue or pink!
