Valentine's Day Treats

I wanted to make something fun and different to bring to work this Valentine's Day. I did some thinking and decided to make red velvet cake and then use a heart shaped cookie cutter to make individual heart-shaped treats for people. You can make the red velvet cake from scratch, but I just used a boxed cake mix from the store. I made 2 cakes with one box. I wanted the cakes to be a bit thinner than a normal cake so it would be easier to use the cookie cutter. After the cakes have cooled, take the cookie cutter and start cutting out the heart shapes. Once you have a platter of mini heart-shaped cakes, put vanilla or cream cheese frosting on each one and decorate as you see fit. I got pink frosting with heat shaped sprinkles. You can be as creative as you want with this one, folks!
