I’m in love with this cake… not only does it look absolutely delicious, but I love the surprise when you cut into this cake. This is one of those cakes that would actually make it acceptable to steal a piece before it makes it to the table.

I am baker, has been busy perfecting this cake and has posted a detailed step-by-step tutorial… if you’re daring enough to attempt this!

Lea from The World’s Smallest Postal Service has a super sweet teeny tiny Valentine’s package. This “cute as a button” package is exactly that…. cute as a button.
