Transform your round cakes into a heart by cutting two curved sections from the tops. Use those trimmed pieces cleverly to complete the heart shape at the bottom. Set this lovely creation on your cake board or drum.

Stack those cake layers with generous buttercream between them, keeping your heart shape aligned. Give the whole cake a thin crumb coat and let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.

Apply a smooth, even layer of buttercream all over your chilled cake using your spatula and smoother. Pop it back in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm up before the fun piping work begins.

Divide your buttercream and create three beautiful pink shades: a soft romantic pink, a medium rose pink, and a deep dramatic fuchsia. Fill separate piping bags with each color.

Create an elegant border with large shells using the 4B tip and dark pink, follow with delicate small shells in light pink using tip 32, then add gorgeous double ruffle garlands in medium pink with tip 102. Connect these lovely garlands with tiny piped hearts.
