Dessert Recipe: Delicious Strawberry Heart Cake
This Strawberry Heart cake is so good, that my family demands it every Valentine's day. My daughter Jessica has requested it as her birthday cake every year since I can remember. It is made with REAL strawberries. I also make this into cupcakes each summer for our end of the year sewing party and my students will eat 2 or 3 each!
