    Title: Alexis' Heart Cake
    Categories: Cakes, Desserts
    Yield: 12 Servings

    1 Heart-Shaped Coconut Cake
    1 Heart-Shaped Banana Cake

    MMMMM-------------------CREAM CHEESE FROSTING------------------------
    1 1/2 c Unsalted butter; in pieces,
    - room temp
    24 oz Cream cheese; room temp
    3 c Confectioners' sugar;
    - sifted
    1 tb Pure vanilla extract

    MMMMM-------------------COLORED FLAKED COCONUT------------------------
    Powdered food coloring
    4 c Coconut flakes

    With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter
    and cream cheese until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce
    speed to low. Add sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, and then
    vanilla, and mix until smooth and combined, scraping
    down sides of bowl as needed. If not using immediately,
    frosting can be refrigerated up to 3 days in an airtight
    container; before using, bring to room temperature, and
    beat on low speed until smooth again.

    Place food coloring in a resealable plastic bag. Add
    coconut flakes. Shake bag to evenly coat coconut with
    food coloring. Use immediately.

    Using a serrated knife, trim top of coconut cake to make
    level. Place coconut cake, trimmed side up, on a cake
    turntable or serving plate, and spread with about 2 cups
    frosting. Top with banana cake. Using an offset spatula,
    spread remaining frosting over entire cake. Sprinkle the
    top and sides with coconut. Cake can be kept
    refrigerated, covered with a cake dome, for up to 3
    days.
