6. Other notes WHAT THEY DONT TELL YOU! I used nerds and the little valentine day hearts with words because I was making this for a class party for Valentine’s Day,.
7. I made theses the night before the party, and the cake was so moist that the candy had gotten soft and was chewy they were hard anymore and my hearts didn’t have any words on them at all at that point.
