We, here at Chez BP, like to take every available opportunity to be as cheesy as humanly possibly. This includes celebrating being married for a whopping 6 months. Which is, you know... a feat for some!
(SHH-Really I just wanted a reason to bake and eat yummy things.)
So we had a whole container of strawberries and therefore I thought, AHA! Strawberry cake. But that wasn't nearly cheesy/mushy gooshy enough for moi.
Enter heart baking tins.
I received these as a wedding present at my bridal shower and I have been *DYING* to break 'em out.
Clearly someone hasn't baked a cake for a while because SOMEONE filled the tins ALL. THE. WAY. UP. And this is what ensued.
Whoops.
So I carried on and salvaged my little hearts.
Then I decided to be all crazy and use up some leftover cream we had in the fridge and made whipped cream which I layered with some more of the sliced strawberries.
I stuck them in the fridge to hang out while I went even more mad and attempted a homemade strawberry buttercream.
It. was. AMAZING.
I outdid myself.
(and almost out-ate myself on that dang stuff while making it because it was JUST that good.)
Of course I added over the top sprinkles.
Because when am I ever NOT as over the top as humanly possibly?
Answer: NEVER.
It was delicious. I was really proud of my handiwork and I must say... It's an EXCELLENT way to get in a serving of fruit! It MUST be the reason why I lost a pound and a half as Weight Watchers this week!
That or my gluttonous intake of these fall vegetables:
Moral of my story:
I'm ridiculous.
