Itty-bitty heart-shaped cake

I got a book from the library called Small-Batch Baking, and I was inspired last night to make cake.

I made plain yellow cake (because I had all the ingredients readily available), with a cream cheese coconut frosting (that I made up myself because I was too lazy to get the book back off the shelf when it was time to frost the cakes). I topped it with toasted coconut, mostly so it would look better in the photo. :) They turned out pretty good. The cakes themselves got a smidge over-done, but that was my fault, not the recipe's.

I'll probably make another couple cakes to determine if this is a cookbook I want to buy, but I'm guessing it might be. I'm thinking a baby chocolate cake layer cake with strawberry preserves and buttercream frosting. And maybe a little carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

Other stuff in the lunch is spinach salad with egg, a polenta nest with balsamic steamed greens, and steamed "cheddar" cauliflower with red peppers.
