1

Pour the cake mix into a large bowl. Add the egg, vegetable oil, and water. Mix all the ingredients together until well incorporated. The batter will be very thick.
2

Spread the brownies into a sprayed 9x13-inch pan. This can be a bit tricky as the batter is thick and sticky. Wet the spatula a little with water to help it spread better.
3

Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Take a heart shaped cookie cutter and cut hearts out of brownies. If doing large hearts you will get 6, medium 10, and small 12.
4

Place frosting into a piping bag (or you can just spread with a knife). Turn half the hearts over and pipe frosting on to the turned over hearts.
5

Place the other heart brownies on top of the frosted heart. Repeat for all the hearts.
