Sweetheart cake

We went out for dinner with Catherine and Danny tonight.

They recently got engaged, so I made a little gift for them, Red velvet sweetheart cake. I used this lovely little 10 cm tin that I just got (Faringdon Collection Bakers Pride Non Stick Mini Springform Cake Pan 10cm). The cake came out really well, and it is a good size for two.

I hope they enjoy it. And again, congratulations to Catherine and Danny;)
