What a work of art! I am far too uncoordinated to attempt a cake like that! The flaked almonds look great on top of the cake.
+1 for the heart pan.

I agree, this is almost too pretty to eat! I love how decadent it looks–although strawberries are healthy, right?

Beautiful pictures, too!

there’s nothing wrong with heart-shaped cakes! carry on with your addiction! this is one of those “almost too pretty to eat” desserts that i like to pause and appreciate for about 5 seconds before digging into.
