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 think that you can find lots of great video’s on that subject on youtube.
Pamela: You cant use cream under the fondant. It needs to have a bc coat first before the fondant. Its right that this fondant that I use sweat very little from being in the fridge. I dont have the recipe for it sorry!

I was wondering on the picture of the piece of cake, is the layer under the fondant icing or marzipan?

Happy anniversary and a beatiful cake it is !!!
I always wish I could use whipped fresh cream under fondant. Your fondant and roses didnt sweat in the fridge ?
You mentioned about a new fondant (danish), wonder if you know the recipe ?
Thank you very much for sharing and teaching.

This cake is simple and stunning! It’s making me hungry! Do you think you’ll add Butter cream roses to your tutorials? I can decorate but I just can’t get my roses right!
