Expert Tips

Most flavors of gelatin can be substituted for the cherry flavor for equally good results.

If heart-shaped gumdrops are unavailable, flatten large red gumdrops with a rolling pin (add sugar if they stick). Cut the flattened gumdrops with a heart-shaped canapé cutter.

If you bake this cake to bring to a party, frost the cake after you have reached your destination.
