Heart Cake

Coles has heart-shaped tins for $8 at the moment, and since I was going to need one for the birthday cake book, I got one the other day.

I put it on 160C fan forced. At half an hour it was still a bit uncooked in the middle so gave it another ten minutes.

It got very pink for one drop. Also the icing sugar was a little runny (just cause I'm lazy and it makes it easier to spread).  But I didn't care too much because this was just testing things.

The proper cake recipe calls for meringue hearts and whipped cream but I decided to skip that for this test.
