Make This Heart-Stopping Cake for Valentine’s Day

If pastel pink hearts and flowers and frills aren’t exactly your thing on Valentine’s Day, here’s an opportunity to serve your heart up on a platter.

Before you get too grossed out, know that this very authentic-looking concoction is actually made of red velvet cake, chocolate ganache, fondant, and a strawberry jam mixture, so it actually tastes as bloody good as it doesn’t look.

Clever cake baker extraordinaire Yolanda Gampp of How to Cake It has come up with this eerie confection that is not for the faint of heart, but perfect for the horror lovers and heart surgeons among us. Imagine how well it would be received not only by the gore groupie in your life, but by the cardiology department that took such good care of your mom last year!

Just like heart surgery, however, the process is a bit complicated, so we’ve put together a brief breakdown.
