Chocolate Heart's Desire Cake

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.

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

Thanks bobwonderbuns. I may be contacting you later for luster dust colors. You have been a big help.

Love how you put this together. Great job all the way around!

Critique group member: fab-u-lous!!! nothing to critique really- it is a gorgeous design

critique subgroup member: This is so cool....I LOVE it. The lustre dust on the bc roses is awesome! The arrangement is perfect. The cake looks rich and delicious. GREAT job.

Critique Subgroup member: This is beautiful! Very classy - and what a great idea to use lustre on choc BC!

Critique group member: I have seen luster dusted chocolate before and am always stunned at how pretty it appears. This is one way to spruce up the "one trick pony or BC roses - huh!" My critique is the cake board is two small and should be 2 to 3 inches bigger.

Critique Subgroup Member: I so love the flowers, that shimmer just draws your eye.

oh wow it is so beautiful

Love it!
