Velvet Cake with Fondant Pink Roses – Valentine Special

Happy Valentine’s Day to All My Friends, Bloggers & Readers.

Valentine Day is full of love, roses, chocolates…

For this Valentine I taught to make the most admired red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting but unfortunately I got so much project work to complete in this weekend…. Ahh !! However yesterday evening took a break from my work and taught to bake something special to my darling hubby.

And I made these cute heart shapes velvet cakes and one more beautiful thing for this cake guess what !! Yes those pretty pink roses.

I love pink and I & my hubby loved those sweet roses. 

I followed the same red velvet cake recipe to make those heart cakes, but unfortunately in the night I ran out of red food color, instead I used pink color. Pink Or Red I feel both are apt for Valentine ’s Day. And I made those roses by using marshmallows fondant which I bookmarked from Apy blog.  I tried them first time and they came so beautiful!! Love them!!
