Love Surprise Cake

My sister, Abby (south Texas), and I had a bake-off for Valentine's Day.  I found this cake online last week and decided to make it. When she told me she was planning to make the same cake, it was on... BAKE-OFF! I made mine Saturday for dinner with friends that night; Abby made hers today. I started at 8:30 on Saturday and finished at 6:00 that night! Enjoy my day in pictures. I made four 9-inch white circles and one 9x13-inch red velvet.

All leveled out.

Hollowed out and shaped.

Forgot to take a picture of the filled halves, but made the stack/flip on the first try!

all frosted up and "decorated"


After the first slices. Is it a butterfly?

Nope, a heart. Jeremy approves!
 



This cake was a lot of work.  I decided that I would never make it as a professional cake decorator.  Too much work and not enough patience.  And all the hard work gets eaten in about 10 minutes!  Not to mention, too much waste.

  1. Way to go MB! I was hoping you would blog about this so I could see the finished product. Looks like too much work for me. :-)
