I made this cake for my mother in law?s surprise birthday party. Her favorite colors are light blue and purple. I wanted to do something very pretty, especially since she used to decorate cakes in a bakery. I wanted to do a perfect job. She totally loved it and admitted that she had never used this technique and didn?t know how to do it. She actually saw me decorating it and didn?t know it was for her. Me and everyone around the house simply told her it was an order from a friend. She was so surprised when she saw the finished cake and realized it was for her and not for someone else. This is a swiss chocolate cake baked in a 10 in heart shaped pan. This is all buttercream icing.
