bleedycakes
found this interesting recipe. i want to make it sometime.

It's a heart-shaped layer cake, with pink frosting and frou-frou Valentine-y decorations, and it is served by hacking it in two with a cleaver. Raspberry syrup then seeps out of the wound, and, in the process gets into the chocolate cake and is quite tasty. The effect is lovely. The key is that you have to frost the inside of the crater before you fill it with syrup, so the syrup can't just seep into the cake. That's how you get good bleed.

You just need a heart-shaped pan (or 2), a cake mix, a can of frosting (canned frosting is really good for the syrup barrier) and some raspberry syrup. Bake 2 heart-shaped layers, then hollow out center of the bottom layer and frost the opening. Fill with syrup. Frost underside of top layer, plop it over the big lake of syrup, and then decorate and frost the cake. You can't really move the cake once it is hollowed out, so build it on whatever you'll be using to serve it. This should be a large plate, preferably white for maximum bleed effect.
