First time I've seen a heart shape technique that didn't waste that extra cake, I love that you incorporated it into the design.

[@campanitabonita69]

Kiara thank you so much for this tutorial the cake is so cool! I want to try to make it but I want to use buttercream, can you please tell me what type of buttercream do you recommend to make a really nice red?

[@Kbustos329]

Thank you! If you want to use buttercream, I would suggest an American buttercream as it will be easier to color red. However I think all that red buttercream can make for a bitter taste. If it were me, I would use a yummy uncolored buttercream as a good thick crumb coat, let chill, then use a really thin coat of red buttercream as the finish. The American Buttercream I use 2lbs unsalted butter 3-4lbs powdered sugar Heavy whipping cream as needed 2 tablespoons vanilla 6 pinches of salt

[@campanitabonita69]

+Sift by Kara Thank you so much Kara I will try this BC is this a soft buttercream or it has some crusts to it?

[@kathleencraig3797]

[@Lila-gd9ri]

[@sareddysupriya279]

It's amazing even I want to try this cake but I did understand how to make that red fondant. Can we prepare that red fondant in home or else we have to get it from store. Can you please reply to my comment.

[@thebustosfamily8254]

Sareddy Supriya when it comes to red and black... save yourself the headache and purchase those colors. I typically use satin ice as it is easily found near me.

[@rashidsuke1620]

It's pretty thaks

[@averymarie748]

You could just make a square cake and a circle cake and cut the circle cake in half and put each half on two sides of the square...

[@mariajoannou9936]

My non crusting is listed in the description above and I don't use a crusting buttercream

[@brandonr1391]

Hi, I tired your buttercream recipe and I don't know if you forgot a step or if I made it wrong but it came out extremely bland. It legit just tasted like butter and sugar :/
