Heart Cake

One of the books I've bought recently was the 'Pretty Party Cakes' by Peggy Porschen and the heart shaped valentine cake was one of the cakes featured.
When I was asked to do a wedding anniversary cake I knew straight away that that was the cake I wanted to attempt to recreate. Its slightly different in looks and flowers as my flowers are slightly larger and not as beautifully crafted I also added a poppy on mine as the couple whose cake it was for were married on the 11th November and have a military background so I thought it would make it more personal to them.
The cake is chocolate Madeira cake with chocolate butter cream and covered in a baby pink fondant. The flowers were piped with thick royal icing and left to dry over night and the stripes were piped with a thinner consistency of royal icing in three different shades of pink cerise, pink and pale pink. Once the stripes dried I added the flowers round the edge of the cake applying them with a spot of royal icing.
