Heart beet whoopie pie cake

After looking many yummy looking goodies especially red velvet cake and whoopie pie’s from my dear bloggers, I wanted to try them badly but with a difference.. Whoopie pies are small, flat sponge cakes sandwiched between cream – or in this case cream frosting. These sweet little cakes are just delicious, mostly healthy and looks fantastic.These whoopie pies are delicious and healthier than most desserts—they’re made with vitamin-rich beets!!!The beet flavour is extremely subtle and also gives the cake a lovely color . Just loved this cake… As they are made using beetroot and named them as ” Heart beet whoopie pie cake ” perfect impress my valentine isn’t it 🙂

Assembling

Now take piece of heart shaped cake and apply the frosting in one side of the cake and then place another piece of heart on top of it like a sandwich . You can either use a spoon or pipe the frosting using piping bag.
