Spreading the love this weekend. I am having some friends over for dinner tonight and I thought I would make a cake with some love in it!
- Do yourself a favour and buy yourself a love heart cake tin. Round and square ones are so boring to me!
- Grab some roses [real please] and some white ribbon.
- Wash your roses thoroughly. Dunk them good in some cold water. This will remove any bugs, bits and pieces.
- Cut each rose off at the bud, so just a teeny piece of stalk remains.
- Peel off the little bud leaves underneath each rose.
- Bake your cake [mine is vanilla bean cake] and make some frosted icing. The real thick stuff!
- Ice your cake and be generous. Slap it all over quite thick. Smooth out the edges. Make sure you ice the sides too.
- Grab your ribbon and lay it on the bottom of the cake to imply a bouquet.
- Place your roses randomly into the cake. Don't make it look to arranged. Just plonk them anywhere.
Now you have a pretty little cake that just screams out love. I guess it would even make a cute wedding cake. Cheap one too!
Have a love filled weekend. Simone xx

Looks so very pretty. The roses are really awesome. That particular shade of pink is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply wonderful!!!! Vou know that roses are actually edible? I hope to make one just like this next year when my roses bloom again. Enjoy the warm weather for me!
ReplyDeleteHi Simone!
ReplyDeleteI am your newest fan.
Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful finds, you thoughts and inspirations.
I have decided I want to step right into your blog and live there please!
I just call myself 'a pretend vintage mummy' but you are living the dream!
Have a great day.
Blessings. Catherine
Yum, that looks delicious and it's so pretty with the flowers! Happy weekend to you, Simone! xxoo :)
ReplyDeleteHow pretty. I would be delighted if I went to dinner and that lovely dessert was on the menu.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteI too am a big fan of heart cakes as a cake made with love tastes a whole lot better.
and your roses are to die for ;)
Love it Simone. The roses look good enough to eat.

ReplyDeleteFascinating. Looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty...now I just need to find the roses my sweet friend....xoxoxo hugs.
ReplyDeleteComing over for coffee xo
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! ♥
ReplyDeleteenjoy your evening with friends, sounds good
ReplyDeleteA baker I am not, but if the cake comes in the shape of a heart and is adorned with roses, I certainly don't think anyone will question my talent. Consider me inspired!
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice... What a great way to start the weekend :) Enjoy
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see a heart shaped pan it reminds me of one my mother had. The roses are a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like something my daughter would kill for. She is big on lovehearts and pink. Thanks for the lovely idea. Have a good weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks gorgeous, too nice to eat! Enjoy your dinner party. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful, girly, and pretty i love it. Have a lovely evening with your friends, i am going to have to look for a heart shape tin i love it. Dee
ReplyDeleteWow! I am certainly LOVING this cake! It looks beautiful and am sure will taste just as delicious. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI so wish I had seen this design last year when my son became engaged! I baked them a chocolate cake made in a heart shaped tin (I agree that square and round are boring!) and decorated it my own way, but it would have looked fab using roses! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make one for my wedding anniversary next week..Thanks for the idea..xx
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I am off to find myself a heart tin:)
ReplyDeletePoetry.
