    I made this heart-shaped basket cake for a friend’s recent couples shower.

    I used this recipe for the Red Velvet cake: [https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-layer-cake-with-cream-cheese-frosting/](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-layer-cake-with-cream-cheese-frosting/)

    I used this recipe for the Swiss Meringue Buttercream to decorate the outside: [https://preppykitchen.com/how-to-make-swiss-buttercream/](https://preppykitchen.com/how-to-make-swiss-buttercream/)

    I used chocolate to create the illusion of the “basket” opening and filled it with some classic chocolate covered strawberries.

    Omg this is so good I didn’t realize it was a cake. I genuinely thought it was a real basket!

    My initial reaction was “but how are they going to remove the cake…?” thinking an actual basket was holding the cake. Wow….unbelievable realism.

    This is absolutely incredible. How did you stabilize the opening half?

    I didn’t realize the sub and I thought it was a real basket! I was sitting here trying to figure out how to create it using red elastic bands, wondering how it had such structural integrity.

    Is this a cake or the beginning of a fairy tale? Because I’m pretty sure you just created the edible version of a happily ever after so yummy!!
