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:

(Ad) Buttercream Embroidery Cake Tutorial🧵🌸🎂 to celebrate March being National Craft Month, I decided to try out some new buttercream piping techniques and make the embroidery cake of my dreams! It ended up being so fun + easy with the perfect cake decorating supplies from @joann_stores 🙌🏼 Here’s how to make this happy little Spring-inspired cake:⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Frost your cake with a smooth buttercream finish and chill for at least 20 minutes.⁣
2️⃣ Use floral cookie cutters to imprint the buttercream.⁣
3️⃣ Outline the shapes using Wilton tip 2 or 3, then fill in the shapes with lines of buttercream piping. For some of the flowers, start at the edge of the shape and pipe a series of lines that connect in the center. For others, experiment with ways to fill in the shape with parallel lines, dots, or other embroidery-inspired piping. ⁣
4️⃣ Freehand some tiny dotted flowers and floral accents using those same piping techniques wherever your heart desires!⁣
⁣
The full tutorial + video for this pretty floral embroidery cake is linked in my bio! It’s the perfect way to welcome Spring 🌸⁣
