3-Layer Heart Shaped cake

• 1 Hanpen
• 1 Decorations (mentaiko spicy salted cod roe, crabsticks, bubu-arare (tiny colorful rice cracker) etc.

1. Make cutouts from the hanpen using differently sized heart-shaped cutters.
2. Stack up the layers, secure with a decorative pick of your choice, and decorate.
3. This one is decorated with mentaiko.
4. I make small cutouts from a crabstick using a straw, and used them as decoration.
5. The third layer here is a slice of ham, and I used colored sugar dragees as decoration...
6. ....but I don't recommend using dragees, since the color melts off over time.
7. The pick I used for this one was too long, so I boosted up the bottom with lettuce leaves.
8. Here's another picture.
9. I put one in my daughter's bentos.
10. The topping uses is sujiko (salmon roe)!
11. If you make this with satsuma-age, it will look like a miniature cheesecake.
12. I found this at the supermarket.
13. It's a local Kansai item called "bettora".
14. If I make the 'cake' with this...
15. ..see?
16. It looke like a cheesecake!
17. I covered a hamburger steak with sauce and made a 'chocolate cake' version.
