I can’t resist.

In spite of my apathy toward Hallmark holidays, I have to share this with you today.

I sometimes wish reincarnation were true just so I could relive my life a dozen different ways. One of those lives would be spent as a professional cake designer. I mean, what’s better than making edible art? Seriously. Art out of butter and sugar? It’s just awesome.

In honor of Saint Valentine’s Day, I give you  a creation by Bakerella.

Yes, this whole thing is cake. Even the box! The truffles are individual red velvet cakes covered in ganache. The box is a cake wrapped in decadent fondant. It’s so cool! For more pictures and step-by-step instructions, visit Bakerella’s blog. She’s a fantastic food photographer! I might take that up on another one of those lives.
