El Corazon

The Heart. Jarrod gave me this card on my birthday last year. I adore everything about it.

An alternative cake stand thing

I would skip the yellow and white flag things and paint it gold. I am more interested having the layers sit on top of each other as pictured below. But I also like this design.

CAKE!
This is dream cake I think. It can be simplified. I have no idea what this kind of creation would take.
From the top down:
-Red flowers etc.
-White frosting (whipped cream/cream cheese - not so sweet)
-Vanilla cake
-Chocolate something and tart berry something
-Custard/pastry cream with berries
-Chocolate cake
-Repeat...
-Covered with the white frosting stuff
-flowers in red and fuschia

The inside of the CAKE!







Some recipes I found in the box of recipes that are delicious looking and inspiring. I am imagining a trifel reincarnated as a non-alcoholic cake - so, the cake would include cream, custard, a bit of chocolate (either cake or some kind of filling, or both), vanilla cake, and berries etc. My mom also has a hard copy of both of these recipes, though I don't think it would have to exactly like either - something similar could be achieved through a different recipe I am sure.
