HIDDEN KISSES
Another wonderful sounding recipe found in the Toronto Star Newspaper. It would be a fun project to do with your children as a wonderful Valentine treat or just for a sweet surprise for someone you love. The paper's article it says the story and recipe are by Chef Bill Lombardo and Catherine McNeil. After reading the first two reviews I've adjusted the water from 4 tsp to 4-5 tsp. Note: The cooking time includes the 45 minute refrigeration time.

Tips:
- Choose fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Use fresh, ripe produce and high-quality chocolate for the best results.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cakes in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cakes rise evenly.
- Let the cakes cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Be creative with your decorations: You can use a variety of frosting techniques, sprinkles, and other decorations to create a beautiful and festive cake.
