Buttercream Hearts Birthday Cake

 This year, my daughter is turning 12. She wanted two cakes: one for family, one for friends. But she wanted both to be similar enough, I thought I'd keep both cakes on one post.

These are both 6-inch red velvet cake. The original thought was to frost and decorate the cake with white chocolate ganache. So, the first one was. 


Unfortunately, I struggled with the piping part. The ganach was too soft to pipe properly. I was very unhappy with the consistency. The ganche also "wept" slightly, adding pools of oil on the cake board.

Let's try again.

This time, I decided to fill and frost it with white chocolate buttercream instead. 

It was the perfect piping consistency. I only used medium star tips.
This was the cake for my daughter's friends.
I piped a reverse shell border along the top of the cake.

 

Then I twisted some piping around the top of the cake.
  I also piped a pink shell boder along the bottom with a white shell border on top of it. I also piped some hearts onto the side using two shells with the tails meeting at the bottom. Then I piped some stars and s-shapes between the hearts.

On top of the cake I piped some swirls with pink. I piped some pink stars in the gaps on the loops on top of the cake. Then I topped the pink swirls with a bit of white to make them reminiscent of birthday candles.
I love how this cake turned out.
It's so delicate and gorgeous.
Happy birthday, Sabrina!
