I wanted it to be red to symbolize love, and opted to use beets instead of the usual jello Or Kool-aid. I also wanted to use the word Beat, and thought BEET WOULD BE PERFECT, IN THE NAME OF THE CAKE.
Chocolate Cream Cheese frostings is one of my recipes I have not shared with you before & thought it would be a perfect complimentary frosting for this dessert.
I didn't have 3 heart shaped cake pans and chose to use 3 HEART SHAPED SPRINGFORM ONES,THEN ADD strawberries between each layer.
