Valentine’s cake with roses

With long anticipation, here is my very special Valentine’s cake with roses. Special, because today is Valentine’s Day but also because my lovely husband and I have been together for 10 years. So I can not find a better way than to celebrate it with a gorgeous, delicious and romantic cake filled with love. I got inspired by the colors I used for the paper cone and with the small gumpaste roses that I showed you earlier it makes a perfect match.

Inside the cake is a nice chocolate cake and strawberry mousse. As I had forgot to buy more eggwhites for the Italian Meringue Buttercream that I just love to use for the crumb coat, I had to use a regular buttercream. Not the best choice, since it is so difficult for me to do a nice crumb coat with the regular buttercream. The IMBC is soo much better, but after a little struggle it did end up with a nice buttercream coat to seal the strawberry mousse well indside the cake.

As promised a photo of how the cake looked on the inside.

I wish you all a very Happy Valentine’s Day.

Happy Caking!

Louise

I got so inspired by the color scheme and the design of this cake, that I had to try it this Valentines. It didnt turn out as pretty as this one, cause I didn’t use fondant. But still liked it. You can take a peek at it at http://turtlecraftygirl.blogsp…Thanks for sharing your creations.Tania

So lovely, I would have a hard time cutting into a cake that looks this pretty, I would spend a long time just looking at it…but then my tastebuds would go bananas and I would simple have to have a slice…it looks great inside too.
