Danisa: This is just something I thought of when I looked at the cake.
For people who don't have a heart-shaped cake pan, they can use a square pan and a circular pan and bake two cakes,
and cut the circle cake in half. It makes a great heart.

Family Bat Tree idea from Beth of Maryland
with a complete direction guide on how to make the bats if you click the tree!
* Jennifer from: The Fabrics Network, Inc. says: Wash black items with Ivory Snow liquid for less fading!! Wash in cold water also.
* The best black dye is the industrial dye available from www.dharmatrading.com.
Super easy to use & quite effective. All you do is put the packet of dye into the washer in a hot load & let it run about 20 min.
(I re-run the wash cycle five times) Search for industrial dyes at dharma. - Lady Michaela
use this dye: http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/1765-AA.shtml?lnav=dyes.html
I made dolls of Frankenstein and his bride
for my boyfriend and I.
I hope I made Boris Karloff and Elsa Lanchester proud. -Hannah
