Baker Lily Vanilli is selling these oozing, anatomically correct cake-hearts for Valentine's Day. They're a little larger than a cupcake, they ooze blackcurrant and cherry "blood," and "come in a cute perspex box tied with a pink or red ribbon and a note if you want to add one." They're £7 plus delivery, which includes a charitable donation:
I'm teaming up with Trekstock and donating 20% of the sale of every ʻbleeding heartʼ to the music and fashion charity that raises awareness and support for young people with cancer.
For Sale: Valentine's Bleeding Hearts (via Neatorama)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Thanks for posting this! I just got a clean bill of health today at my check up. 4 years cancer free (I’m 27 years old)! Its always great to see young adult cancer awareness organizations being recognized! I’m passing this along to all my friends from various other cancer organizations. :)
