Step 1: Prepare Bright Red Buttercream & Cover the Cake
The base of this Valentine’s Day cake is a bright red buttercream-covered sponge. If you haven’t seen the video tutorial yet, **watch it here** to make the perfect red buttercream covered cake.
Step 2: Pipe Green Twines Using Wilton 5 Writing Nozzle
Using a **Wilton 5 writing nozzle**, pipe delicate green twines across the cake. These twines will serve as the base for your floral decorations, creating a natural and flowing design.
Step 3: Pipe Leaves with Wilton 352 Nozzle
Next, use a Wilton 352 nozzle to add beautiful leaves along the twines. Slightly angle your piping bag to create realistic leaf shapes, giving depth and movement to your design.
Step 4: Pipe Rose Buds Directly on the Cake with Wilton 104 Nozzle
Now comes the fun part – the roses! Using a Wilton 104 nozzle, pipe rose buds directly onto the cake. Watch the video to learn this technique step by step!
Step 5: Pipe Free-Falling Petals in Different Colours with Wilton 104 Nozzle
To add a whimsical touch, use the same Wilton 104 nozzle to pipe free-falling petals in different colours. This adds movement and makes the cake look effortlessly elegant.
Step 6: Pipe a Heart of Twines and Flowers on Top
For the ultimate Valentine’s Day touch, pipe a heart shape on the top of the cake using twines and flowers. This adds a stunning focal point.
Step 7: Finish Off with Edible Flowers (Optional)
For an extra romantic touch, decorate your cake with edible flowers. I used Polly’s Petals (UK based business), but you can use any edible blooms of your choice. These flowers add a natural beauty that complements your buttercream artistry.
And That’s It!
Your stunning Valentine’s Day buttercream cake is now ready to impress!
Happy decorating ❤️
