Cake is where the heart is

I know that this blog is about a month too late for the Valentines day crowd, but i'm gonna write it anyway! Valentines day is a great day to be a cake decorator, because you get to showcase your skills with roses, calligraphy, and making beautiful cakes. I love this holiday! I know, I know, some of you out there are grinding your teeth at that comment, but you gotta see it from a cake decorator's perspective.

Whew.. lots of mushy stuff ;) Honestly though... aren't those cute!? I almost feel embarrassed to post the picture of the only Valentines Day heart cake that I made. It was one of my first cakes where I didn't know much about calligraphy, or how to make buttercream roses.

Eww... lol I guess it was at least a good start. I made this valentines day cake for my good friend Aaron from Tuscon. I never personally handed the cake to him, but I did take lots of pictures and send them along.

Valentines day cards are awesome and all, but nothin says "I Love You" like 2 pounds of icing and the sugar rush that goes along with it!
