Preheat oven to 350*F and spray to heart cake pans with cooking spray.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Cream butter on medium speed with an electric mixer. Add sugar and vanilla; mix until fluffy. With mixer running, add eggs one at a time, allowing eggs to mix in after each one.

Add half of the flour mixture and half of the milk. Mix until mostly combined. Repeat with the remaining flour and milk; mix until completely incorporated.

Divide batter between the prepared pans and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake layer comes out clean.

Let cakes cool in pans 5-10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Process strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain puree through a sieve to remove seeds if desired. Combine strawberry puree and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Reduce heat and let mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, or until mixture resembles jelly, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat, stir in extract, and let cool completely before using.

Cream butter on medium speed until smooth. Add rose extract and milk. Add half of powdered sugar, mix on low speed until mostly combined, and then medium speed until completely combined. Repeat with remaining powdered sugar. Mix for 1 additional minute.

Place one cake layer on a cake stand or cake plate. Pipe a border of frosting around the top edge of the cake. Spoon filling over cake, but inside the border. Smooth with a spoon if necessary. Place second cake layer on top and fill in the gap between the two cakes. (At this point, I put my cake in the fridge for 30 minutes. This helps me get smoother frosting, but that's just me!)

Spread remaining frosting over the whole cake. Use a star tip to pipe designs around the bottom and top edges.

Stir together the red decorating gel and black food coloring (to make it a darker color; the gel is super bright red). Slide your knife into the cake and pipe the gel around it. Use a toothpick to spread it out and give it more of a shape.
