For this cake you don’t need to have a special pan.  Though that would have been funny . . . “Here’s how you make a heart shaped cake.  Take you heart shaped cake pan….”  Annnnnnnnnd….CUT!  Video done.  

I have a sad sense of humour.  

But seriously, this is a really easy way to make a heart shaped cake without the special pan.  Collecting all of the awesome shaped pans is a storage nightmare.  I recently just sold over 20 shaped character pans because seriously, when am I going to use those and they take up SO much room!  I saved a couple of my favourites though to make a couple videos with. 

The strawberries on top of this cake add a beautiful pop of red to the cake, and I love the white/red contrasting colours.  You could use any fruit though and I think it would still look beautiful.  It would also make for a great wedding cake and you could theme the fruit with the colours of the wedding party!  The possibilities are endless.
