Red Velvet Pound Cake Hearts Dessert

When you're hosting a party, you don't get to enjoy it. It's the truth. We hosted a Super Bowl party this year, and I didn't even watch one minute of the first four quarters. I was cooking before our guests arrived, started cleaning up when they got there, and only stopped during halftime to watch Lady Gaga slay. By the time the fourth quarter was wrapping up, the majority of our guests left, I finished the last bit of cleaning, and finally sat to watch the Patriots win in overtime.

That's the reality of your wedding events too. You don't really get to enjoy them. That's why I say your wedding is for other people. You do the planning; they do they enjoying.

So when you're planning your party menus, specifically for an engagement party or an at-home bridal shower, you really want to keep things as simple as possible. Which is why this Red Velvet Pound Cake Hearts Dessert is just perfect.

Stick a toothpick through the pound cake hearts at a diagonal. In my photo, they're straight across, but I decided diagonal was cuter ... after I took this photo.

Place a marshmallow on each end. Continue until you're out of cake.

Now, yes, in the photo you may notice skewers instead of toothpicks. That's because they were part of my original plan. My pound cake, though, did not cooperate. It was too crumbly to stay on the skewers, so I went to toothpicks. I love how they look, so it was almost a Pinterest fail, but became a success story.
