Chocolate Heart's Desire Cake
This wasn't actually a Valentine's Cake but rather a Rosh Hashanah cake by special commission. The cake is iced in chocolate buttercream and the roses are chocolate buttercream which were chilled and then drybrushed with lustre dust for an antiqued look. I used fall and metallic colors which stand out better on chocolate since it was Fall and I happen to love those particular colors.
Gorgeous! I love the colors - it caught my eye right away. :wink:
Wow - very stunning colors - great looking cake
Beautiful cake and color. I love the effect the dust gives the roses.
Very classy!
Wow! The dust on the chocolate looks spectacular!
I love the luster on the chocolate--very cool effect! This is a beautiful cake.
Thanks bobwonderbuns. I may be contacting you later for luster dust colors. You have been a big help.
I am collecting ideas for my son's groom cake. I want the WOW factor and not stacked. Your cake is gorgeous. On top of a chocolate sheet cake would be perfect. They have not even set the date yet but I want to be prepared. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
addietx, this is a very easy cake to do. Just buttercream and roses! I've done it several times in various shapes for men (last one was done as a square cake for an 18 year old boy's birthday.) It's very popular with my male clients. And you're right, stacked on a sheet cake it would be awesome. I did something similar to that (look in my pix for the gilded monogram cake.) And remember, the darker colors of lustre dust show up better on chocolate. Hope that helps some! :D
