We all like the kind of recipes that are quick and easy to make. This one is what my kids like to make (and eat). We can all make something special for parents, a girlfriend, or just for fun for Valentines Day.
We used the Dr Oetker can of icing to decorate this (and to make it faster).
Plopped on the top are hearts from the Haribo sweets collection and they are just plopped on top of the basic sponge recipe mix below, which I simply divided into 24 individual cake cases. Some of the cakes we ice, and others we don’t.
