Desserts are probably the most anticipated part of every meal. Whether cakes, tarts, ice cream or just candies, desserts appeal to everyone regardless of age. There are now so many different dessert items and while it is important for these desserts to taste good, it is important that they look sumptuous as well. We even have different plating suggestions and different items we use to serve desserts. For heart-shaped desserts, here are some recipe suggestions that will satisfy not just your taste, but your eyes as well.
To make your cake a little “sweeter” than the usual without having to add sugar, make it a heart-shaped cake next time. To make this, prepare the cake as you would with any other style of cake. Make the cake a simple chiffon cake for easier molding compared to layered ones which can have cream or graham crusts that could break. Use a large square or round cake dish as the cake will be re-shaped later on. The final size will be smaller than the dish. When you are finished baking the cake and it has rested, using your kitchen knife, cut out the round cake and make the edges into a heart shape. Score the cake with the knife before cutting it and make sure that the size of the heart is proportional. Now you cover it with icing, frosting or place sweet toppings such as chocolate shavings on top. You can use heart-shaped boxes or just the regular square box for your packaging and wait until they see the surprise inside.
You can also make heart-shaped gelatins that will have everyone giggle with fun. The package instructions on gelatin packs are basically the same – mix one pack of the gelatin with two cups of hot water and pour the mixture in a shallow dish. Place it in the fridge to chill and with the use of a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out the gelatin into small heart-shapes that are bite-sized.
Heart-shaped goodies and desserts are best for family gatherings and on special lovely occasions such as heart-shaped cakes for your loved ones on Valentine’s Day or heart wedding favors like cookies at weddings. Heart shaped goodies are a refreshing break from the usual desserts and sweet pastries that you see on the dining table.
