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!
