Heart Covered Valentine Cake Tutorial

February 12, 2020 · In: Featured, Seasonal, Tutorials, Valentines

I recently got to whip up a Valentine’s Day cake for The Cake Blog and it turned out so gorgeous I think it might deserve it’s own power ballad! The rose gold color palette and matching sprinkles are everything. And if you zoom in, you’ll see that all the hearts on this cake are filled in with pretty piping to give it even more texture. Whether you’re planning a Valentine’s Day party this year or want to bake something beautiful to impress your honey, I think this is the cake for you:

This cake is so easy to make with a heart shaped cookie cutter, a few piping tips, pretty sprinkles, and a fun Valentine’s Day color scheme. I went with various shades of Americolor Dusty Rose for the color scheme, which perfectly matched these Vintage Rose Gold sprinkles from Sprinkle Pop that I love. You’ll find the full tutorial for this cake and all my best tips over on The Cake Blog, so head there for all the details! Here are some photos to inspire you in the meantime:

EGGNOG LAYER CAKE 🤍🎄I put a Biscoff spin on EGGNOG LAYER CAKE 🤍🎄I put a Biscoff spin on this holiday cake favorite from my blog + it turned out AMAZING: layers of eggnog-infused cake, spiced eggnog buttercream, and @lotusbiscoff cookie crumbles, topped with a Biscoff cookie butter drip! ⁣
⁣
This recipe originally has an eggnog ganache drip (also so delish!), but if you want to try the cookie butter drip here’s what you do: melt about 1/2 Cup of Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for 20 seconds until it’s pourable consistency, then add it to a piping bag and drip onto the cake. For best results, make sure the frosting is nice and chilled before you drip ❄️⁣
