Valentine Cake

Valentine Cake

This is my husband, Mike’s and my Valentine cake. It is banana cake with cream cheese buttercream frosting. Hearts are fondant and the roses are made from Platinum Paste. This was my first attempt at the water color look with buttercream and I think I like it :o)

I like the watercolor….saw a few posts with this technique but haven’t had a chance to see how it is done. Happy Valentines Day to you guys!

Thank you Angel and Khamphet! Angel, I just put blobs of different color buttercream on the cake and smooth it over with my offset spatula. It really looks a lot prettier in person than it photographed….a lot a subtle colors that didn’t show up. I won’t say this was the most successful, but it was fun and I think it is pretty. Hoping to get better :o)

It’s a beautiful cake Sandra <3 , I gave up on buttercream in the summer here, you can barely make the cake hold in one piece, left alone watercolour techniques :)
